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

DEUTSCH

ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANOJAPANESECOMPL & WARR

Adjusting the Monitor Position

Viewing Angle

You can tilt the screen backward and forward, swivel left or right as well as lift
up and down 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.

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 wristpad.

6

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 19 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:

• Gently wipe the device covers and the screen with a soft cloth.

• Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent;
do not use solvents or abrasives

• Never use flammable cleaning material to clean your IBM monitor or any
other electrical apparatus.

• Connect the power cord to the power port on the back of your monitor if
the power cord supplied is not attached to the monitor. Then insert the
plug into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Auto Image Setup (Analog Only)

Auto Image Setup

The Setup Utility
included on the setup
diskette is for displaying dot
patterns. They do not replace or
modify the display driver.

The Auto Image Setup
instructions require the monitor to
be warmed up for 15 minutes.
This is not required for normal
operation.

When you first use your monitor you must perform Auto Image Setup. This
procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your
computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto
Image Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the
monitor.

To optimise 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

AUTO IMAGE SETUP for each operating system that you use.

This means that if you sometimes use your monitor while running any version
of Windows and sometimes also use it from within DOS (not a DOS window),
you must run

AUTO IMAGE SETUP for both Windows and DOS. You can run

versions of

AUTO IMAGE SETUP in any order.

Before you begin

AUTO IMAGE SETUP for your computer:

1. Make sure the computer’s video mode is set in the range of the

supported screen resolution shown in the Table on page 26.

The

AUTO IMAGE SETUP

process only applies to the
current screen mode. When a new
mode is selected, repeat this
section to reset the monitor

You should perform AUTO IMAGE SETUP for each screen mode you use.

On-screen display (OSD) controls

The settings adjustable with the user controls are viewed through the On­Screen Display (OSD). Press the OSD Enter button ( ) to activate the
OSD.

The LCD monitor needs

time to become thermally
stable the first time you turn it on
each day. Thus, to achieve more
accurate adjustments for
parameters, allow the LCD
monitor to warm up (be On) for at
least 15 minutes before making
any screen adjustments.

Further 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 IMAGE

S

ETUP 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 1280 × 1024 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.

For the display modes listed on the next page, the screen image has been
optimized during manufacture.

26

For image problems, you

may want to run AUTO
Setup again before consulting to
this section. In most cases, AUTO
SETUP can fix the problems. See

Auto Image Setup for DOS

on

page 15 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
1280 x 1024 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 Signaling (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.

As an

ENERGY STAR

®

Partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the

ENERGY STAR

®

guidelines for energy efficiency.

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.
