How long does it take to sanitise items?

A full sanitisation cycle is 10 minutes (600 seconds). Please note that you may need to run more than one cycle to fully sanitise all sides of an item.

What items can I put inside the UVStand™ sanitisation compartment to sanitise them?

You can put keyboards, mice, trackballs, mobile phones and other computer devices inside the product’s sanitisation compartment to sanitise them.

What items can I not put inside the Stand™ sanitisation compartment for sanitisation?

You cannot put food, tableware, beverages, feeding bottles, medical supplies, liquids, animals and other items that are not computer devices or office appliances inside the product’s sanitisation compartment. UV rays may break down plastic, rubber or other nonmetallic materials, can fade colours, and can be damaging to plant life over time.

Can I put food inside the UVStand™ monitor stand’s sanitisation compartment?

No. Do not put food inside the UVStand™ monitor stand’s sanitisation compartment. Do not put tableware, beverages, feeding bottles or medical supplies inside the UVStand™ either.

Can I put a live animal inside the UVStand™ monitor stand’s sanitisation compartment?

No. Do not put live animals in the UVStand™ monitor stand’s sanitisation compartment.

Is the UVStand™ Monitor Stand adjustable in height?

No, it is fixed height and not adjustable.

Is the UVStand™ Monitor Stand safe for children to use?

No. The product is not recommended for use by children under the age of 14. Parent supervision is recommended.

My UVStand™ Monitor Stand isn’t working, or I dropped it, left it outside or dropped it in water. What should I do?

Return it to your nearest service centre or contact Kensington customer support.

What is the best way to turn the unit off?

Press and release the power button. As long as the LED indicator is not illuminated, the product has been turned off.

Can I remove the safety labels from the device?

No, all product labels should remain on the product.

What power supply is needed to operate the UVStand™?

The unit is mains operated at 18W (9V/2A). Please use the power adapter included to power the sanitisation compartment.

Can I use the UVStand™ Monitor Stand outside?

No, the UVStand™ should only be used indoors. It should be used in a stable location that is dry and free from liquid incursion. The product is not intended for use in bathrooms, by swimming pools or at laundry areas. Never place it where it may fall into a bathtub or other standing water.

Are UV (ultraviolet irradiation) harmful to you?

Germicidal ultraviolet rays are harmful to the eyes and skin. Avoid exposure to direct or reflected UV as it could cause significant eye and/or skin damage. If the UV light inside the enclosure is visible, power off and unplug the equipment from the outlet immediately and contact Kensington for assistance. Do not attempt to fix or disassemble the unit by yourself.

Is the UVStand™ Monitor Stand intended for medical use?

No. The product is intended for household and/or office use only. It is not intended for medical use. Do not use the equipment to sanitise medical supplies, tableware or feeding bottles.

Can I squeeze items into the UVStand™ Monitor Stand?

No. Do not put objects into the sanitisation compartment that are too large to fit properly as this may cause damage to the UV LED beads mounted on top of the compartment.

Can I stack items inside the UVStand™ Monitor Stand?

No. Do not stack objects inside the compartment as this will prevent them from being properly sanitised. Only objects with direct contact to UV LED lights will be sanitised properly. When placing an object into the compartment for sanitisation, make sure the surface that will have direct contact with the user is face up to ensure maximum sanitisation efficacy. More than one sanitisation cycle might be required for objects with more than one surface that will have direct contact with the user.

How do I know that the sanitisation cycle is working?

If the product’s LED light is flashing blue, the sanitisation cycle is working and in progress.

How do I know which plug is used for my country?

Plug type by region

How long will the UV LED beads last?

1000 hrs, or 6000 sanitisation cycles at 10 minutes per cycle.

What happens if I stop the cycle before it’s done?

The sanitisation process is not complete and 99.9% efficacy may not be achieved. We suggest to always run a complete 10 minute cycle for best results.

What does it mean when the LED button on the UVStand™ monitor stand is flashing red?

Sanitisation cannot be activated. Contact Kensington for support. Do not try to disassemble the unit or fix the issue by yourself.

What does it mean when the LED continues to solid blue?

The sanitisation cycle is complete.

What does it mean when the LED button is off (no color)?

The unit has been turned off or the front door has been opened before a sanitisation cycle is complete. We suggest running another full cycle to make sure 99.9% of sanitisation rate can be achieved.

One or more LED beads are broken. Sanitisation can continue but might not achieve 99.9% of sanitisation rate as claimed. Contact Kensington for support
