Workrite Electric Sit Stand Table at TCEM

UHS installed electric sit/stand desks at TCEM.  The video below provides a quick guide for how to set the seated and standing height for the presets on the table.

Standing: Adjust the table to elbow height.  Press Save. Press the standing icon.

Sitting: Sit on a chair so that thighs are parallel to the floor.  Adjust the table to elbow height.  Press Save.  Press the standing icon.

Reset table: If locked up follow the directions at the workrite help desk (my table will not move at all).

Goal:  Vary sitting and standing throughout the day with a maximum of 4 hours of standing.

Monitor arms- Start at arms length and adjust in or out based on preference.  The top of the monitor should be at eye level unless the lower bifocals are used.  In that case, adjust the monitor down until the viewing angle allows the head to be in a neutral position and not tilted back.
