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
You should 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.

visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have your
eyesight checked regularly.

Before ca rr yi n g o u t th i s
section, it is very
important that The Setup
Diskette for Windows 95 or
Windows 98 has been run.
The Setup Utility
included on the setup
diskette is for displaying
dot patterns. They do not
replace or modify the display
dirver.
The Auto 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 Setup. This
procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your
computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto
Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the monitor.
In order to optimise the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the IBM
Monitor Installation Diskette. Operation of the utility is dependent on the
operating system on your PC. For correct operation locate the operating
system on your PC from the table below and follow the appropriate
instructions. You may choose to run

Display modes
The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore,
you should refer to your computer documentation for details on how to
change display modes.
The image size, position and shape may 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 inhere nt ly flic ker-f ree . I f poss ib le, co n figur e you r comp uter
for 1024 × 768 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed below, 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
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.
