How to Install a NOMAD Offset Mount for a Clean Desk Setup: Step-by-Step Guide

A clean desk setup isn't just about aesthetics—it boosts productivity and reduces clutter. The NOMAD Offset Mount is designed to elevate your workspace by securely holding your devices while keeping cables organized. Whether you're mounting a power supply or a wireless charger, this guide will walk you through the installation process step by step.

Before you begin, ensure you have all components: the Offset Mount base, mounting arm, screws, and your chosen power adapter or charging base. NOMAD's modular system allows you to pair the mount with accessories like the AC Adapter - 100W | Slim for a streamlined power solution.

Unboxing and Identifying Components

Start by unboxing your NOMAD Offset Mount. Inside, you'll find the main mount body, a mounting arm, screws, and a hex key. The mount is crafted from aluminum with a matte finish, blending seamlessly into any desk setup. If you purchased a bundle, you may also have a power adapter or charging base.

Take a moment to identify each part. The mount base features a clamp for edge-of-desk installation, while the arm has adjustable joints for positioning. For power delivery, consider pairing the mount with the AC Adapter - 100W | Slim | White, which fits neatly into the mount's cable management channel.

• Adjustable mounting arm
• Screws and hex key
• Optional: power adapter or charging base

Step 1: Attach the Mount to Your Desk

Choose a location on your desk edge where you want the mount. Clean the area to ensure a secure grip. Open the clamp by turning the knob counterclockwise, then slide it onto the desk edge. Tighten the knob clockwise until the mount is firmly attached. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage.

For desks with uneven edges, you can adjust the clamp's rubber pads. The mount supports desks up to 2 inches thick. If your desk has a lip, ensure the clamp sits flush. Once secure, give it a gentle tug to confirm stability.

Step 2: Install the Mounting Arm

The mounting arm connects to the base via a pivot joint. Align the arm's connector with the base's socket and push until it clicks. Use the hex key to tighten the set screw, locking the arm in place. The arm can rotate 360 degrees, allowing flexible positioning.

If you're mounting a power adapter, attach the adapter bracket to the arm using the provided screws. The bracket is designed to hold the AC Adapter - 100W | Slim | Carbide or similar models securely. Ensure the adapter's cable aligns with the arm's cable channel for a clean look.

• Align and click the arm into the base
• Tighten set screw with hex key
• Attach adapter bracket if needed

Step 3: Route and Manage Cables

Cable management is key to a clean desk. The Offset Mount features a built-in channel along the arm. Feed your power cable through the channel, starting from the adapter down to the base. Use the included cable clips to secure the cable at intervals.

For a wireless charging setup, route the charging cable similarly. If you're using a Base Station, the cable can be hidden within the mount's arm. This prevents tangles and keeps your desk surface free of loose wires. Ensure the cable is not pinched at the joints.

• Use the arm's cable channel
• Secure with cable clips
• Avoid pinching at pivot points

Step 4: Connect Power and Test

Plug your power adapter into a wall outlet. If using the AC Adapter - 100W | Slim | White, it supports fast charging for multiple devices. Connect your device's charging cable to the adapter. Turn on the power and check that your device charges properly.

Adjust the arm's angle for optimal viewing or charging position. The mount's joints allow tilt and swivel. Tighten any loose joints with the hex key. Your NOMAD Offset Mount is now ready for daily use, keeping your desk organized and efficient.

With your NOMAD Offset Mount installed, enjoy a clutter-free workspace that enhances both form and function. For a complete setup, pair it with the AC Adapter - 100W | Slim | White to power your devices efficiently. Explore more NOMAD accessories to customize your desk further.
