How do I program stow and deploy positions on a Flex monitor using the controller?
This guide explains how to program Stow and Deploy positions for your Flex Monitor using a connected wireless or panel-mounted controller—no app required. Perfect for setting up your monitor quickly in the field right after power-up.
