Setup
Hardware Requirements
This monitor requires a computer with a suitable on-board sub-system or
Video Adapter card that can support XGA 1024 × 768, SVGA 800 x 600, or
VGA 640 x 480 at 60 Hz.
Handling Instructions
Do not support the monitor within the screen area. The Liquid Crystal Display is glass and can be damaged 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.
Workplace Preparation
This section gives advice on what you should
consider before you set up your monitor.
Height
The monitor should be positioned 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. The monitor should be positioned 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.

T50_setup.fm Page 3 Thursday, August 9, 2001 11:09 AM
Adjusting the Monitor Position
Viewing Angle
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.
Back
You should 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.

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 for more information.

Connecting your Monitor
Be sure to read the ‘Monitor
Safety and Warranty Information’ book before carrying out this procedure.
1.Turn off your PC and all attached devices.
2.Connect the signal cable to the video port on the back of your computer. This port might be directly attached to your computer (figure A), or it might be part of a video adapter card (figure B). The video port on your computer or video adapter card may be colored blue to match the blue connector on your monitor’s video cable.
