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.

Auto Image Setup (Analog Only)

Auto Image Setup

The Setup Utility included on the setup diskette is for displaying dot

patterns. They do not replace or modify the display driver.

The Auto Image Setup instructions require the monitor to be warmed up for 15 minutes. This is not required for normal operation.

When you first use your monitor you must perform Auto Image Setup. This procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto Image 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 IMAGE 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 IMAGE SETUP for both Windows and DOS. You can run versions of AUTO IMAGE SETUP in any order.

The AUTO IMAGE SETUP process only applies to the current screen mode. When a new

mode is selected, repeat this section to reset the monitor

Operating System	Corresponding Auto Image Setup procedure
DOS	Auto Image Setup for DOS on page 15

	Windows Me or Windows XP
Windows Me or Windows XP

Before you begin AUTO IMAGE SETUP for your computer:

1.Make sure the computer’s video mode is set in the range of the supported screen resolution shown in the Table on page 26.

You should perform AUTO IMAGE SETUP for each screen mode you use.

14

Auto Image Setup for DOS

If the monitor is in standby mode (STANDBY ON), it

may automatically turn off while you are waiting for it to warm up. If this happens, switch off the monitor and switch it on again after a few seconds.

If you are using PC-DOS/V, change to U.S. mode by

typing ‘CHEV US’ and pressing ENTER at the command prompt.

The size and diversity of the dot pattern varies with the

screen resolution.

To optimize the displayed image automatically in DOS, do the following:

1.Turn on the monitor first; then turn on the computer.

If the message CHECK SIGNAL CABLE is displayed, or if nothing is displayed, check:

•that the video interface cable is connected properly.

•the correct video adapter card is installed.

•the correct supported display mode is selected for your computer.

2.Wait approximately 15 minutes, until the monitor warms up.

3.Insert the User’s Guide and Installation Files CD into the computer CDROM drive.

4.Display the command prompt screen of the DOS full-screen display.

5.Type d:\ (change the drive letter to match your CD-ROM drive if it is not drive D).

6.Type TESTPATD and press ENTER.

7.Select from the screen the number for the color or text mode you want to set up.

8.Select from the screen the number for the video mode you want to set up. You can repeat this process for as many of the color and video modes as you need.

9. When the dot pattern appears, press the OSD Enter button	at the
bottom of the monitor to display the initial OSD menu.

10.Use an Arrow button ( or ) to select the Image Setup icon then press the OSD Enter button to access the function.

11.Using an Arrow button ( or ), select AUTOMATIC and press the

OSD Enter button . This activates the AUTO IMAGE SETUP procedure, which will optimize the display settings with the provided dot-patterns.

The screen will flash off several times and you might notice small changes to the test pattern.

12. When finished, the OSD main menu returns. Press the Exit button to exit from the OSD.

13.Press the ESCAPE key to exit the test pattern program.

14.Type Exit at the command prompt to return to Windows.

If you use other operating systems, perform the appropriate Auto Image Setup for those systems using instructions given in “Auto Image Setup for

Windows 3.1, Windows95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows Me or Windows XP on page 16”

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 AUTO IMAGE SETUP 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 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.

For image problems, you may want to run AUTO

Setup again before consulting to this section. In most cases, AUTO SETUP can fix the problems. See

Auto Image Setup for DOS on page 15 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 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 Signaling (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.

As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® 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.
