Workplace preparation

Positioning the monitor

Choose a suitable place to position the monitor where it is not near
fluorescent desk lighting or any equipment that produces magnetic fields that
could cause interference. Ensure that the furniture or equipment can support
the weight of the monitor. Allow at least 2 in. (50 mm) ventilation space
around the 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. Position the monitor directly in front
of you so that you do not have to twist your body. Tilt the monitor to a
comfortable viewing angle.

Work Practices
Caring for your Monitor

Be sure to disconnect the power cord from your monitor before you perform any maintenance on
the monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:

• Gently wipe the covers and the screen with a soft cloth, do not use solvents
or abrasives.

• Never drop water or other liquid into your monitor.

• Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

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

• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive
items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may
result in a scratched picture tube.

• Do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar
additive as this may scratch the screen's coating.

• Never apply detergent or other liquid directly to the screen. Dampen the
cloth and then wipe.

Precautions

Rest

Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, and stand up and stretch
occasionally, as prolonged use of computer workstations c an be tiring.

Back

Sit back in the chair and use the back rest.

Hands

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 might 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.
