We suggest you read this guide until the end before receiving your shade.

What's Included:

1. Carbon Shade Studio
2. 12 x Self-adhesive Aluminium Plates

• • 4 for the top edge

  • 4 for the bottom edge

  • 2 for each side edge

Step 1: Prepare the Monitor

1. Clean the Surface
   Before applying the aluminium plates, make sure the edges of your Studio Display are clean. Use a microfiber cloth and a mild cleaner to gently wipe down the top, bottom, and side edges.

2. Place the Monitor Face Down
   Place the Studio Display face down on a flat, soft surface (cloth or foam padding) to protect the screen during installation.

Step 2: Align the Carbon Shade Studio

1. Position the Shade on the Top Edge
   Align the Carbon Shade Studio with the top edge of the display. The outer hinges of the shade should align with the sides of the monitor.

2. Place the Aluminium Plates
   Take 4 of the self-adhesive aluminium plates and place them along the top edge of the monitor, ensuring they align with the magnets on the shade. Press firmly to secure.

Step 3: Repeat for All Sides

1. Bottom Edge
   Repeat step 2.2 for the bottom edge of the monitor.

2. Side Edges
   Align the side panels of the Carbon Shade Studio with the edges of the screen.
   Place 2 aluminium plates on each side edge, near the top and bottom corners. Ensure they align with the magnets on the side panels.         

3. Press Firmly
   After placing the plates on all sides, press firmly on each one to ensure proper adhesion.

4. Allow the Adhesive to Set
   Wait at least 15 minutes for the adhesive to cure before proceeding.

Step 4: Attaching the Carbon Shade Studio

1. Magnetic Mounting
   Once the aluminium plates are in place, align the Carbon Shade Studio with the monitor’s edges. The magnets will securely snap into place on all sides.

2. Check for Stability
   Verify that the shade is securely attached and properly aligned.

Switching Between Landscape and Portrait Mode

1. Detach and Reattach
   To switch orientation, gently pull the Carbon Shade Studio away from the aluminium plates, rotate the Studio Display, and reattach the shade by aligning it with the plates.
