Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Q: Why does my standing desk go up when I press the [down] button, and vice versa?
A:It may be because you triggered the Anti-collision system; the motor system will protect itself once it detects obstacles while moving or loses balance. Especially on the SOLOS Advanced Standing Desk and V2 Premium Standing Desk, which have advanced Anti-collision Systems. You may press the “▲” “▼” button for 5 seconds at the same time to switch the sensitivity; The display shows "A-0" is to switch off the Anti-collision features, while "A-1", "A-2", "A-3" respectively stands for low sensitivity, medium sensitivity, and high sensitivity.
Meanwhile, if you have found any control pad malfunction, we suggest you kindly check all the cable connections, then you can press the “▼” button at the lowest height and hold for 5 seconds. The system will reboot and go back to normal.
Q: Why does my tabletop come with incompatible prefabricated holes with my standing desk frames? How should I match the screw location for assembly?
A: SOLOS offers universal tabletops for different standing desk frames. The prefabricated holes on the backside of the tabletop are used for screw location reference. Please kindly check below for various desk assemblies.
Q:There is a cable management tray at the bottom of the horizontal supporting beam; I could not find the match screw holes for assembly.
A: SOLOS keep improving the product design for easier assembly and more excellent quality. We creatively added a new cable management tray for the horizontal supporting beam on the new standing desk frames; they share the same screw holes for assembly. Simply insert two sides of the tray, then tighten the screws to fix. You may find details in the instruction guide that comes with the package and below as well.
Q: What if I use a Non-SOLOS tabletop with SOLOS Standing Desk Legs? What would be the compatible dimensions of the tabletops?
A: We currently have two standing desk frame options online: the ET Stand and D Stand; you may follow the tabletop dimension suggestion below to match your tabletop.
