The primary function of the Vari Electric Standing Desk is to provide a dynamic workspace that promotes better posture and reduces the health risks associated with prolonged sitting. It features an electric motor system that allows for smooth and quiet height adjustments, enabling users to effortlessly transition from a seated to a standing position and vice versa. The desk is available in three sizes: 48x30, 60x30, and 72x30 inches, catering to different space requirements and user needs. Each desk size is designed to hold a substantial amount of weight, ensuring stability and durability for various office setups. The control panel, typically located on the right or left side of the desk, provides intuitive buttons for height adjustments and memory presets.

Assembly Requirements:

2 People Required for Assembly: Due to the size and weight of the components, two people are recommended for safe and efficient assembly.
Separate Boxes: The desktop and leg kit ship in separate boxes and may arrive in separate deliveries.

Components Included (for 72x30 desk as an example):

Box 1 of 2: Desktop (x1), Power Cord (x2, only included with 72x30 desk).

Usage Features

The Vari Electric Standing Desk is designed for ease of use and customization, offering features that enhance the user experience:

Easy Assembly: The assembly process is straightforward, with clear instructions provided. The legs are secured into grooved areas on the metal frame, and the control box is installed in the middle cavity. The control panel can be attached to either the right or left side of the desk, depending on user preference, using pre-drilled holes. Adhesive clips are provided for cable management, helping to keep the workspace tidy.

Programmable Height Presets: Users can program up to four preferred height settings using the "M" button on the control panel. This allows for quick and precise transitions between favorite sitting and standing heights without manual adjustment each time. To program a preset, adjust the desk to the desired height, press "M," and then press the desired number (1, 2, 3, or 4).

Smooth and Quiet Operation: The electric motor system ensures that height adjustments are smooth and quiet, minimizing disruption in an office environment.

Safety Features: The desk includes a reset procedure ("RST") that can resolve minor issues and recalibrate the desk's height sensors. This ensures accurate and safe operation. The "LOC" feature on the control panel allows users to lock the control panel to prevent accidental adjustments.

Recalibration: If the screen is not showing the correct height or if the desk is not moving smoothly, a recalibration process can be performed. This involves pressing and holding the DOWN button until the LED display reads "RST," then pressing and holding the "M" button until the LED display flashes "RST." The desk will lower to its lowest position, then rise slightly, and stop, indicating a successful recalibration.

Overload Protection: The desk is equipped with overload protection (E03). If the desk is overloaded, it will stop moving, and the LED display will show "E03." To clear this, remove some weight from the desktop and press the DOWN button to reset.

Overheating Protection: The desk has an overheating protection system (H01). If the motor runs continuously for more than 2 minutes, the desk will stop moving, and the LED display will show "H01." To clear this, let the desk rest for 20 minutes.

Maintenance Features

Maintaining the Vari Electric Standing Desk is relatively simple, focusing on ensuring proper function and longevity:

Regular Cleaning: The desk surface and legs can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

Cable Management: Utilize the provided adhesive clips to secure the power cord and other cables underneath the desktop. This not only keeps the workspace tidy but also prevents cables from getting caught or damaged during height adjustments.

Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section to address common issues:

Table Leg Failure (E01, E02): If the desk legs are not moving or are moving unevenly, check all cable connections between the legs, control box, and control panel. Perform a reset if necessary.
Data Error (E04): If the control panel displays "E04," it indicates a data error. Perform a reset to clear this.
Button Stuck (E05): If a button on the control panel is stuck, move the affected button back and forth to release it. If the button remains stuck, contact Vari.
Connection Error (E06): If the control panel displays "E06," check all cable connections between the control box and the control panel. Ensure all cables are fully connected.
Leg Cable Not Fully Secured (E07, E08): If the M1 or M2 leg cable is not fully secured, the display will show "E07" or "E08." Disconnect and re-connect the cable.
Height Setting Error (E07, E08): If the height setting is incorrect, perform a reset.
System Reset (RST): If the desk is unresponsive or displaying unusual behavior, a system reset can often resolve the issue. Press and hold the DOWN button until "RST" flashes, then press and hold the "M" button until the display shows the height of 25 inches, then release.

Preventive Measures:

Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the specified weight capacity for your desk size to prevent damage to the motor and frame.
Keep Clear: Ensure there are no obstructions above or below the desk when adjusting its height to prevent collisions.
Proper Cable Routing: Make sure all cables are securely connected and routed to avoid strain or accidental disconnection.

By following these guidelines, users can ensure the safe, efficient, and long-lasting performance of their Vari Electric Standing Desk.
