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 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.

- Tilt the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.

Working Practices

Rest

Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, and stand up and stretch occasionally as prolonged use of computer workstations can 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.

Precautions

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.

Power Cord

For safe operation, use the power cord supplied with the unit.

Notes

Do not install the monitor in a location near heat sources such as

radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, or excessive dust or mechanical vibration or shock.

Save the original shipping carton and packing materials, as they will

come in handy if you ever have to ship your monitor.

To keep the monitor looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth.

Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the cabinet. As a safety precaution, always unplug the monitor before cleaning it.
