Teleprompter Assembly Setup
Step 1
Place the teleprompter glass frame on a flat surface and remove the four
screws as shown.
Step 2
Align and attach the teleprompter hood with the 8 screw pegs from the
teleprompter frame.
Step 3
The metal frame is directional. Make sure the thicker side is on top and the
slimmer side is on the bottom.
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
Extend the teleprompter hood open and attach teleprompter boot using the
clips. It is suggested to align the seam with the bottom of the teleprompter
hood.
Step 6
Remove the monitor mounts from the teleprompter base using the included larger
4mm hex key to loosen from the 15mm rods.
Step 7
Attach the monitor mounts on the back of the monitor’s VESA compatible threads
using the 4 included screws and provided 2mm hex key.
Step 8
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 set of monitor mounts. Please ensure that all
screws are properly tightened after inserting the monitor.
SAFETY NOTE Make sure to leave at least 2 inches of the rods inside the teleprompter base.

Step 9
While sliding the teleprompter bracket into the slot of the teleprompter base
pull on the red knob to allow the bracket to fully slide in.
Step 10
Once the bracket is in place, tighten the side screw to lock in place. Double
check and make sure all the screws are tightened with the included hex keys.
Step 11 (optional)
Should the teleprompter be too front heavy, you can attach the included
counter weight on the back of the teleprompter base.
Foam Case
To make your teleprompter more portable, we packed it in a reusable, high-
quality foam. The shape and size of the foam was designed to fit into Ikan’s
PT-CASE-V2.
