Setup

Hardware Requirements

This monitor requires a computer with a suitable on-board video sub-system
or Video Adapter card that can support SXGA 1280 x 1024, XGA 1024 × 768,
SVGA 800 x 600, or VGA 640 x 480.

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.

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

Working Practices

ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANOJAPANESECOMPL & WARR

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

Adjust the height and angle of the chairback to support your lower back. Sit
well back in your chair.

Hands

DEUTSCH

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.

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 check ed 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
information.

video port on your computer or video adapter card may be colored blue
to match the blue connector on your monitor’s video cable.

If you are using a workstation, you may need to use a 13W3 cable.
Refer to

Installing a 13W3 Cable

on page 25 for instructions.

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

Switching on 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

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.

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.
