   The same window in the app also shows that.  If it's off, I have to take   
   it out of the stand and lower it to loosen the screws and adjust that   
   angle manually.  Pretty simple really.  I got a feeling that is going to   
   stay pretty much the same, and only the alignment will need to be   
   turned.  We'll see.   
      
   BTW, it works if you're off a little from what it would like, but what   
   they give you is what the thing decides is optimal positioning.
