Workplace Preparation
ENGLISH
This section gives advice
i
on what you should
consider before you set up
your monitor.
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 50mm (2 in.) ventilation
space around the 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.

Working Practices
This section gives advice
i
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.
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 these settings 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 10 for more
information.
Power cord
For safe operation, use the power cord supplied with the unit.
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 covers and the screen with a soft cloth.
Do not use solvents or abrasives.
• 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.
