Taking Care of Your Armodilo™

Your Armodilo Display Stand has been designed to be relatively maintenance free. As with anything a little tender loving care will go a long way to ensuring your Armodilo Display Stand lasts for years to come and will provide you with endless hours of showcasing prowess.

UsageYour Armodilo Display Stand was designed to exhibit tablet devices in a variety of environments including: trade shows, exhibits and retail environments. The display stand was designed to be used indoors in dry conditions. Outdoor usage is not recommended as the unit will not provide any protection from elements such as rain, snow, sleet or hail for your tablet device.

AssemblyWhen assembling and disassembling your display stand always ensure that all parts align properly before securing or attaching the supplied screws. Improper threading or over tightening of any of the screws could result in premature thread or part wear which is not covered under the warranty.

CleaningYour display stand is anodized and power-coated to give it one of the most durable finishes available. Armodilo’s finish will stand up to a lot but occasionally you’ll want to wipe down your display stand to give it that ‘good as new’ look. When cleaning your display stand always use a damp lint free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents since they could harm the finish.
