Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I adjust the monitor mounts on the teleprompter
base?
A: Use the larger 4mm hex key provided to loosen the monitor
mounts from the 15mm rods. Adjust the rods to accommodate the
monitor and ensure they go through both sets of monitor mounts.
Remember to leave about 1 inch of room for the teleprompter
bracket.
Q: How do I secure the hood of the teleprompter?
A: Fold the flaps of the Hood alongside the edges of the Hood
Attachment Frame. The Hood Attachment Frame includes six threaded
clinch studs. Put the holes on the hood through the threaded clinch
studs. Use the magnetic flaps for extra support and seal both
zippers down to prevent light leakage.
