Workplace Preparation
This section gives advice on
what you should consider
before you set up your 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.
Adjusting the Monitor Position
The monitor offers the adjusting height, rake, and rotation possibility that enable
the monitor to be optimally adjusted for the respective user and the respective
situation.

Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally as
prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.
5
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.
ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANOJAPANESECOMPL & WARR
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. See the User controls section on page 15 for more information.
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 device covers and the screen with a soft cloth.
• Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent;
do not use solvents or abrasives.
• Never use flammable cleaning material to clean your IBM monitor or any
other electrical apparatus.

Adjustment.
Auto setup is not required when using digital input.
When you first use your monitor you must perform Auto Setup. This
procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your

Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the monitor.
To optimise the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the CD.
Operation of the utility is dependent on the operating system on your
computer. For correct operation locate the operating system on your
computer from the table below and follow the appropriate instructions. You
can choose to run
AUTO SETUP for each operating system that you use. This
means that if you sometimes use your monitor while running any version of
Windows and sometimes also use it from within DOS (not a DOS window),
you must run
AUTO SETUP in any order.

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
and the monitor controls.
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker,
TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your computer
for 1024 × 768 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed on the next page, the screen image has been
optimized during manufacture.
AUTO SETUP

For image problems, you
may want to run AUTO
Setup again before consulting this
section. In most cases, AUTO
SETUP can fix the problems. See
Auto Setup for DOS
for details.

Power Management
If your computer has
previously been used
with a CRT monitor and is
currently configured to a
display mode outside the
range that the Flat Panel
monitor can display, you
may need to re-attach the
CRT monitor temporarily
until you have re-configured
the computer, preferably to
1024 x 768 at 60Hz.
To benefit 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-definable period.
There are several states as described in the table below.
