Setup

Hardware Requirements

This monitor requires a computer with a suitable on-board sub-system or Video Adapter card that can support XGA 1024 × 768, SVGA 800 x 600, or VGA 640 x 480 at 60 Hz.

Workplace Preparation

This section gives advice

on what you should consider before you set up your 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 to use it. Tilt the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.

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

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. See the

User controls

section on page 14 for more information.

Handling Instructions

Do not support the monitor

within the screen area. The Liquid Crystal Display is glass and can be damaged by rough handling or excessive pressure.

1. Lift the monitor by placing both hands under the lower part of the cover.

2. Before using your monitor for the first time, remove the clear protective film from the front of the screen.

Connecting your Monitor

Be sure to read the

‘Safety Information’ at the front of this User Guide before carrying out this procedure.

The AC adapter and signal

cable are connected to your monitor. If you wish to change these or to fit a different stand, see Further Help on page 23.

1. Turn off your PC and all attached devices.

2. Connect the signal cab le to the video port on the back of your computer . This port might be directly attached to your computer (figure A), or it might be part of a video adapter card (figure B). The video port on your computer or video adapter card may be colored blue to match the blue connector on your monitor’s video cable.

3. Connect the power cord to the power adapter first, then insert the plug into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Switching on your Monitor

1. Switch on the power source and your computer.

2. Switch on your monitor by pushing and releasing the power switch marked . To switch off your monitor, push and release the power switch again.

3. Turn on the monitor and then the computer.

4. Run

Viewing Angle

You can tilt the screen backward and forward as shown below.

Caring for your Monitor

ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANOJAPANESECOMPL & WARR

DEUTSCH

Be sure to turn off the power before you perform any maintenance on the monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:

• Gently wipe the 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.

Configuring your Monitor

Automatic Setup

The Setup Utility included

on the setup diskette is for displaying dot patterns. They do not replace or modify the display driver.

When you first use your monitor you must perform Automatic Setup (

). This procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from

ETUP

your computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform

UTO SETUP

, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the

monitor.

The Automatic Setup

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

Setup Diskette for Windows 95 or Windows 98

This section must be completed before continuing with the

Windows 95 or Windows 98

Auto Setup for the PC on page 7.

To use the Plug and Play feature in Windows 95 or Windows 98, files should be loaded from the IBM Color LCD Monitor Installation diskette as follows:

1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.

2. Ensure that the monitor is connected correctly.

3. Turn on the monitor and then the system unit. Allow the system to boot into Windows 95 or Windows 98. Your computer’s Plug and Play code may warn you that your system hardware has changed. This probably means that it has detected your new monitor for the first time.

UTO

On LCD monitors, unlike

CRTs, a faster refresh rate does not improve display quality. IBM recommends using either 1024 x 768 at a refresh rate of 60Hz or 640 x 480 at a refresh rate of 60Hz.
