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,

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.
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.

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.
