Workplace Preparation

film from the front of the screen.

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

Viewing Angle

Y ou can tilt the screen backward and forward, swivel left or right as well as lift up and down as shown below.

Working Practices

This section gives

advice on how you can work comfortably and reduce fatigue.

Rest

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

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 18 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.

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 fl icke r-free . If po ssi ble, confi gure y our c ompute r for 1280 × 1024 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.

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

Power Management

ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANOJAPANESECOMPL & WARR

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 1280 x 1024 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.

ENERGY STAR

As an

ENERGY STAR

Partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the

guidelines for energy efficiency.

For optimal performance, 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.
