by rough handling or excessive
pressure.
1. Lift the monitor by placing your hands where indicated below.
2. Before using your monitor for the first time, remove the clear
protective film from the front of the screen.
4
3. Attach base as shown below.
Workplace Preparation
This section gives advice on
what you should consider
before you set up your monitor.
Height
Position the monitor so that the top of the screen is slightly below your eye
level when you sit at your workstation.
Orientation
Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and windows,
usually at a right angle to any windows. Position the monitor directly in
front of you so that you do not have to twist your body to use it. Tilt the
monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.
5
ENGLISH
Adjusting the Monitor Position
You can tilt the screen backward and forward as shown below.
Working Practices
This section gives advice on
how you can work comfortably
and reduce fatigue.
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally
as prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.
6
Back
Sit back in your chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Adjust the seat height so that your forearms are approximately horizontal
and your wrists are straight when using the keyboard. Your upper arms
should be relaxed with your elbows near your body.
Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and fingers
relaxed. Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists when
not typing. Consider using a wrist
pad.
Eyesight
Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close work, can be
visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have
your eyesight checked regularly.
Screen settings
Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. You may
have to adjust this as the lighting changes during the day. Many
application programs let you select color combinations which can help you
to view in comfort. See the User controls section on page 15 for more
information.
Caring for your Monitor
Be sure to turn off the power before you perform any maintenance on the
monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:
y Gently wipe the device covers and the screen with a soft cloth.
y Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild
detergent; do not use solvents or abrasives.
y Never use flammable cleaning material to clean your IBM monitor or
any other electrical apparatus.

Auto Setup
Auto Setup
The Setup Utility included on
the installation CD is for
displaying dot patterns.
They do not replace or modify the
display driver.
The Auto Setup instructions require
the monitor to be warmed up for 15
minutes. This is not required for
normal operation.
By pressing the Auto key, you will
have direct access to Auto
Adjustment.
The
A
UTO SETUP
process
only applies to the current
screen mode. When a new
mode is selected, repeat this section
to reset the monitor.
When you first use your monitor you must perform Auto Setup. This
procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your
computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto
Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the
monitor.
To optimize the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the CD.
Operation of the utility is dependent on the operating system on your
computer. For correct operation locate the operating system on your
computer from the table below and follow the appropriate instructions.
You can choose to run
A
UTO SETUP
for each operating system that you use.
This means that if you sometimes use your monitor while running a
version of Windows and sometimes also use it from within DOS (not a
DOS window), you must run
A
UTO SETUP
for both Windows and DOS. You
can run versions of
A
UTO SETUP
in any order.

General Information
Display modes
The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer.
Therefore, refer to your computer documentation for details on how to
change display modes.
The image size, position and shape might change when the display mode
changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using
AUTO
SETUP and the monitor controls.
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker,
TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your
computer for 1024 × 768 address ability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed on the next page, the screen image has been
optimized during manufacture.
21
For image problems, you
may want to run AUTO
Setup again before
consulting this section. In
most cases, AUTO SETUP can fix
the problems. See Auto Setup for
DOS on page 12 for details.

Power Management
If your computer has
previously been used with a
CRT monitor and is currently
configured to a display mode
outside the range that the Flat
Panel monitor can display, you may
need to re-attach the CRT monitor
temporarily until you have
re-configured the computer,
preferably to 1024 x 768 at 60Hz.
To benefit from power management, the monitor must be used in
conjunction with a computer that implements the Video Electronics
Standards Association (VESA) Display Power Management Signalling
(DPMS) Standard.
The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes
that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable
period. There are several states as described in the table below.
For optimal performance, switch off your monitor at the end of each
working day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods
during the day.
* There may be a slight delay before the picture reappears.

Notice: This mark applies only to countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway.
This appliance is labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning waste electrical
and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive determines the framework for the return and recycling of
used appliances as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to various products to
indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.
In accordance with the European WEEE Directive, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is to be
collected separately and to be reused, recycled, or recovered at end of life. Users of EEE with the WEEE
marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive, as shown above, must not dispose of end of life EEE as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the return,
recycling, and recovery of WEEE. Customer participation is important to minimize any potential effects of
EEE on the environment and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous substances in
EEE. For proper collection and treatment, contact your local IBM representative.
