Precautions

General Use Precautions
Only qualified persons are authorized to carry out maintenance on this device.
• Read this User's Guide carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the monitor.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify your monitor. Never insert any metallic object into the circuitry to avoid any risk of
electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your monitor contains no user-serviceable parts. If it appears to
be malfunctioning, have it inspected by a qualified LaCie Technical Support representative.
• Never expose your monitor to rain, or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects containing
liquids on the monitor, as they may spill onto its circuitry. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire or
personal injury.
• Make sure that the computer and the monitor are electrically grounded. If the devices are not grounded, there is an
increased risk of electrical shock.
• Do not expose the monitor to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 45° C (41° F to 104° F). Doing so may damage the
monitor or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your monitor near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a
window). Inversely, placing your monitor in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.

3.2 Location Considerations
3. Setting Up Your LaCie photon20visionII Monitor
page 14
Important Info:
When setting up your monitor, keep the following in mind:
• For optimal viewing, avoid placing the monitor against a bright background or where sunlight or other light sources may
reflect on the display area of the monitor; place your monitor no closer than 12 inches and no further away than 28 inches
from your eyes. The optimal distance is 24 inches.
• Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor
tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.
• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away, and blink often.
• Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly
downward when viewing the middle of the screen.
• Place the monitor away from strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields, such as high-capacity transformers, electric motors,
large-current power lines and steel pillars. Magnetism can cause distortion in the picture and/or color purity.
• Avoid covering the slots or openings of the monitor. Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so the heat from the
monitor can properly dissipate. Avoid putting the monitor into any enclosure that does not have adequate ventilation.
• Avoid exposing the monitor to rain, excessive moisture or dust, because this can cause a fire or shock hazard.
• Avoid placing the monitor, or any other heavy object, on the power cord. Damage to the power cord can cause a fire or
electrical shock.
• Handle the monitor with extreme care when transporting.
Correct placement and adjustment of the monitor can reduce eye, shoulder and neck fatigue.
3.3 Ergonomic Considerations
To realize the maximum ergonomic benefits, we recommend the following:
• Adjust the brightness until the background raster disappears
• Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting
• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals
• Use the preset Color Setting and Sides Left/Right controls
• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 75-160Hz
• Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to
insufficient contrast
