Preface

Ergonomics

We designed your Multimedia PC system to be functional as well as attractive. To get most out of it, here are some suggestions on how to position and use the computer:

• The top third of the LCD (screen) should be at eye-level or slightly below.

• The LCD should be at least 18"/45cm. directly in front of you.

• If the screen resolution makes you strain to read, then adjust the resolution to somethin g more comfortable (see “Video

Features” on page 1 - 14).

• Angle the LCD (see “Tilting the LCD Screen” on page 1 - 7) so that it doesn’t reflect any light into your eyes.

• Use a chair which offers good back support (especially lower-back). The seat should allow your feet to rest flat on the floor or on a footrest directly in front of you.

• If possible, illuminate your work area with natural daylight or use a steady-glowing (non-flickering) light source.

• Place the keyboard and mouse so that your arms are at your sides and your forearms are roughly parallel to the floor. Your wrists should flex slightly downward as you work. Your neck and shoulders should also be relaxed.

• T ake a break from the computer. Get up, stretch, flex your wrists, walk about, and look at something else for about 10 minutes every hour.

VIII

Preface

Lighting

Proper lighting and comfortable display viewing angle can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue in your neck and shoulders.

• Position the display to avoid glare or reflections from overhead lighting or outside sources of light.

• Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness and contrast to levels that allow you to see the screen clearly.

• Position the display directly in front of you at a comfortable viewing distance.

• Adjust the display-viewing angle to find the best position.

LCD Screen Care

To prevent image persistence on LCD monitors (caused by the continuous display of graphics on the screen for an extended period of time) take the following precautions:

• Set the Windows Power Plans to turn the screen off after a few minutes of screen idl e time.

• Use a rotating, moving or blank screen saver (this prevents an image from being displayed too long).

• Rotate desktop background images every few days.

• Turn the monitor off when the system is not in use.



Carrying the Computer

We strongly recommend using both hands to move the computer (one hand gripping the handle area and the other gripping the computer) to avoid accidentally dropping it. Be careful that objects such as belt buckles etc. do not scratch the screen while it is being carried.

If you need to manually eject a CD/DVD (e.g. due to an unexpected power interruption) you may push the end of a straightened paper clip into the emergency eject hole. Do not use a sharpened pencil or similar object that may break and become

lodged in the hole.

Media Warning

DVD region detection is device dependent, not OSdependent. You can select your module’s region code 5 times. The fifth selection is permanen t. This cannot be altered even if you change your operating system or you use the module in another computer.

Don’t try to remove a floppy disk/CD/DVD while the system is accessing it. This may cause the sys-

tem to “crash”.
