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

A3
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.

Troubleshooting

No image appears

Is the power cord of the monitor connected?
Is the power indicator light on?
Is the power on and the power indicator green?
Is the power indicator amber?
Do you see an "OUT OF
FREQUENCY" message on the screen?
Do you see a "SELF
DIAGNOSITICS" message on the screen?
Check and see if the power cord is connected properly to
the power outlet.
Press the Power button.
Adjust the brightness and the contrast.
If the monitor is in power saving mode, try moving the
mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard to bring up the screen.
This message appears when the signal from the PC
(video card) is out of horizontal or vertical frequency range of the monitor. See the 'Specifications' section of this manual and configure your monitor again.
This message appears when the signal cable between
your PC and your monitor is not connected. Check the signal cable and try again.
Is the vertical frequency less than 70Hz or is your monitor set to the interlaced mode?
Do you have any magnetic material such as adapter, or high­voltage line near to your monitor?
Do you hear a "~ding" sound while the monitor is flickering?
Set the vertical frequency to 72Hz or higher, and consult the video card user manual for instructions on converting to a non-interlaced mode. (You can set this option under the Display icon of the Control Panel.)
Remove magnetic sources, such as power adapters, speakers, or high-voltage lines, away from the monitor.
Use the normal degaussing function. This function clears the screen and reduces any screen blur that may occur due to the surrounding magnetic field. The screen may flicker for about 5 seconds, accompanied by a "~ding" sound.

The screen is flickering.

A15
Troubleshooting
Do you see basic
discoloration (16 colors)?
Is the screen color unstable or monochrome?
Do you see a partial
blurring on the screen?
Set the color depth to 256 colors or higher: use 'Control
Panel' 'Display' 'Settings' 'Color Palette'
Check the connection of the signal cable.
This happens due to interference from surrounding
magnetic fields, as created when speakers, steel
structures, or high-voltage lines are placed near the
monitor. Remove any such materials from the
immediate vicinity and use the DEGAUSS icon on the
screen adjustment menu to fix the screen.
Do you see the after-image
even when you turn off the monitor?
A premature aging of the monitor pixels may cause the
prolonged display of a single image on the screen. Be sure to use a screen saver to maximize the service life of the monitor.

The screen color is not normal.

I see an after-image on the screen.

Do you see the wave
directly on the screen?
This occurs in inverse proportion to the screen focus,
which can be caused by a particular frequency or video card. Brighten the screen and use the 'MOIRE' icon on the screen adjustment menu to adjust the screen.

I see waves on the screen.

Have you installed the monitor driver?

Be sure to install the monitor driver from the IBMMonitor CD that comes with your monitor.
