Product Usage Instructions

Teleprompter Assembly Setup

• Step 1: Place the Hood Attachment Frame over the Glass Holder. Then place the glass against the Glass Holder. Make sure the screws pass through the holes on both the Hood Attachment Frame and the Glass Holder.

• Step 2: Secure the Glass Holder by fastening the knurled nuts to the screws as pictured.

• Step 3: Remove the monitor mounts from the teleprompter base using the included larger 4mm hex key to loosen from the 15mm rods.

• Step 4: Put the washers on before tightening the screws. The washers and 4 additional screws are inside a bag on the bottom foam.

• Step 5: After the monitor mounts are attached, adjust the 15mm rods to accommodate the monitor.

• Leave about 1 inch of room for the teleprompter bracket. Make sure the 15mm rods go through both sets of monitor mounts. Please ensure that all screws are properly tightened after inserting the monitor.
  

• NOTE : Make sure to leave at least 2 inches of the rods inside the teleprompter base.

• Step 6: While sliding the teleprompter bracket into the slot of the Glass Frame Holder Bracket, pull on the red knob to allow the bracket to fully slide in.

• Step 7: Once the bracket is in place, tighten the side screw to lock it in place. Double-check and make sure all the screws are tightened with the included hex keys.

• Step 8: Fold the flaps of the Hood alongside the edges of the Hood Attachment Frame. The flaps of the Hood are magnetic, so they will automatically attach.

• Step 9: To prevent light from leaking through the hood, seal both zippers down.

• Step 10: Slide in the Riser plate of your choice by aligning the screws on the riser plate to the slot on the Base. Once the screws are aligned, slide the riser plate into the Base.
