Setup

Important: Before connecting the monitor, turn off the computer and attached devices. Also, ensure the power at the electrical outlet matches the power requirements of the monitor. Refer to the Specifications section on page 14 for more details.

Connecting your monitor

Step 1. 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).

Step 2. Connect the power cord to the monitor first, then firmly insert the plug into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Step 3. Turn on the monitor, and then the computer.

If your monitor does not seem to be working correctly, refer to the Troubleshooting section starting on page 15 for help.

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 inches (50mm) 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.

4

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. Tilt the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.

ESetup.fm Page 5 Friday, April 14, 2000 12:56 PM

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

You should sit back in the chair and use the backrest.

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 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.

Further Information

Display modes

The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore, refer to your computer documentation for details on how to change display modes.

The image size, position and shape might change when the display mode changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using the monitor controls.

To ensure flicker-free operation, select the highest (non-interlaced) refresh rate both the computer and the monitor can support, (generally 75 Hz or higher), for the addressability that your application requires.

For the display modes listed, the screen image has been optimized during manufacture.

	Addressability	Refresh	Horizontal
		Rate	Frequency
	640 x 480	60 Hz	31.5 kHz
	640 x 480	85 Hz	43.3 kHz
	720 x 400	70 Hz	31.5 kHz
	800 x 600	75 Hz	46.9 kHz
	800 x 600	85 Hz	53.7 kHz
	960 x 529	75 Hz	41.8 kHz
	1024 x 768	75 Hz	60.0 kHz

Power Management

To beneÞt from power management, the monitor must be used in conjunction with a computer that implements the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS) Standard.

The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-deÞnable

period of time. There are several states as described in the table below.

As an ENERGY STAR¨ Partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR¨ guidelines for energy efÞciency.

Switch off your monitor at the end of each working day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods during the day.
