How to Program a Standing Desk: Programming Tips to Get Started
Ready to learn how to set standing desk presets? It's actually pretty simple - at least when you go with the best electric standing desk in Australia at UpDown Desk! In fact, one of the main reasons we've earned the reputation as the #1 choice for adjustable height desks is how easy it is to set up and program your new desk. Whether you bought an electric corner standing desk or one of our more traditional ergonomic computer desks, it takes no more than a minute or two to program your new desk. Here's how you can get started...
Step 1: Raise or Lower the Desk to Your Preferred Height for Sitting
You'll want to use at least two of the presets when setting up height-adjustable desks: your sitting preset and your standing preset. Now, you can set up as many as 4 different height presets if you'd like - but we'll just focus on the first two today.
Our desk's control pad features six buttons. There are two manual up/down controls and four height settings that you can save. These are called the M buttons. To get your desired sitting height, simply use the manual up/down button. Or, you could pre-set heights by hitting the M1 to M4 buttons. From there, you'll proceed to step two.
Step 2: Lock in Your Sitting Height Preset
Once you've got your desk at the right height, press one of the M buttons until you hear a beep to program your stored settings. That beep indicates that your height preset has been saved. Now, when you press that M button (whichever you used to lock it in), the desk will return to that height. Nice job! But we're not quite finished...
Step 3: Repeat the Process to Get Your Standing Height Preset
Now that you're sitting height preset is locked in, you'll want to repeat the process for your standing height preset. Raise the desk up and use the M2 button to lock in your standing height.
It’s that easy. At the touch of a button, you can go between sitting and standing. Your current height will be displayed on the display screen. It is pre-programmed from the factory to display the height at its lowest, which is 64 cm. The company measured the height from the top of a standard desktop which is 2.5 cm thick.
Should you decide to add castor wheels or a thicker desktop, you can change this. You'll appreciate how simple it is to set up the PRO Series standing desk. Using the video or written setup tutorial provided, you should be able to complete your own installation in a short period of time.
Tips for Getting the Most out of Your Standing Desk Programming
Now that you know how to set standing desk presets, we want to provide you with a few tips for getting the most out of your new desk.
When actually standing at your desk, make sure you're not putting all of your weight on one leg. If you notice that your posture is beginning to slouch or weary, simply return to sitting. When you have weak posture, it's better to do a few short standing exercises throughout the day rather than one long one.
Your end goal should be to shoot for a 50/50 ratio of sitting to standing. This may not be possible at first as you build up the core strength and mental dexterity to work while standing. However, over time, you'll find that you can stand for longer without even noticing. It's important for us to stress that if you're finding your productivity and focus starts to drop as you reach the end of your standing session, just sit down. Don't power through for the sake of lower-quality work.
