Ergonomic guidelines

The recommen ded sc reen positi oning is ba sed up on the f o llow ing guidel ine s. The s e guideline s ar e
based on available scientific literature and published standards.

Screen heig ht

The recommended screen height for displays (except in special circumstances, such as for bifocal
use) is that the top of the display should be set at or slightly below (about 1 inch or 25mm) your
eye level while you are sitting in a comfortable working posture. This guideline places the center
of the screen at an ideal 15° to 20° viewing angle for most desktop displays.

Screen tilt

The screen should be tilted so your line of sight is perpendicular to the screen. This angle creates
the m ost co ns iste nt viewi ng di st anc e w hen sc an nin g fro m th e to p of t he scree n to th e bo ttom .
You may need to adjust lighting to avoid screen glare when the screen is tilted upward.

Screen distance from user

The screen should first be placed at arm’s length from the user, then adjusted back and forth to
suit individual preference.

Starting the monit or

To s t a rt t h e m o n i to r :

1 Press the po wer bu tton on the fro nt of you r m on ito r. The p owe r L ED tu rn s fro m o ra ng e to

green.

Power butto n

2 Tu r n on y ou r c om put e r.

After your computer is running, the po wer LED (centered abo ve the monitor but t ons) should
be green. Allow about 10seconds for the display image to appear. If the power LED is not
green or you do not see a display image, check the connections. For more troubleshooting
information, see “Troubleshooting” on page13.

3 Adjust the tilt of the mon itor for the best viewing angl e.

Important

When adjusting the monitor settings, always press the Auto button b efore
entering the OSD. T his will automaticall y adjust the displa y image to the ideal settings
for the current screen resolution.

Using Your eMachines Flat-Panel Monitor

Changing Windo ws s creen s ettings

Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic monitor settings you may need to
change to suit your needs.

Color depth is the number of colors your computer uses to display images on your monitor. Most
images look best displayed with the maximum number of colors available. If the color in your
images seems “false” or “jump y,” especially af t er y ou ha v e pla yed a game or run a video-intensive
program, check the color depth setting and return it to the highest color setting, if necessary.

Screen resol uti on is the number of pixels (individual colored dots) your computer uses to display
images on your monitor. The higher the resol ution, the more information and screen components
(such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on the monitor.

Unknow n video modes

Like all ot her monitors, the LCD monitor is designed t o work w ith standar d v ideo modes. Ho wever,
not all video/graphic cards use only standard display modes. Your LCD monitor uses
state-of-the-art technology, which is designed to synchronize to any display mode. We
recommend choosing one of the supported modes listed above. If you choose an unknown mode,
you will need to manually adju st the c lock, phas e , and image position. If you mu st use an unknow n
mode, you can run Auto Adjust first. If Auto Adjust does not provide adequate image adjustment,
then you must manually adjust the clock, phase, horizontal position, and vertical position.

P ower man agement

ENERG Y STAR

As an ENERG Y STAR® Partner, eMachines has det ermined that this pr oduct meets the ENER G Y STAR
guidelines for energy efficiency.

This monitor complies with the EPA’s International ENERGY STAR Program, which is a program
designed to encourage manufactur ers of computer equipment to build cir cuitry into t heir products
to reduce energy consumption during time of non-use.

Energy declar ation

When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling
(DPMS) Protocol, the monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption
during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy saving mode, the monitor
enters the ActiveOff mode (sleep) . In the ActiveOff mode the Power LED turns orange.

Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:

VESA state LED indicator Power co nsu mp tio n

On Green < 55 W
ActiveOff Orange < 2W

To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any keyboard key.
Access the power management options in the Control Panel to change the period of time after

which the monitor enters these low power states.

12

Maintaining

To keep the monitor in optimal working order:

• Do not block the ventilation holes.

• Do n ot exp ose the mo nito r to ra in o r u se n ea r wa ter.

• Keep th e m on itor away fr om rad iato rs or he at ven ts.

• Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight.

Caution

Do not use any type of abrasive pad or glass cleaner. You will permanently

scratch the screen.

• To clean the monitor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water only. Wipe the cabinet,

screen, and controls.

Troubleshooting

Caution

Immediatel y unplug t he monit or fr om th e power outlet and r ef er servic ing t o qualifie d

service personnel if any of the following occurs:

• The power supply cord or plug is damaged.

• Li qu id has be en s p ill ed or ob ject s h ave fa lle n into the mo ni tor.
