Workplace preparation
Positioning the monitor
Choose a suitable place to position the monitor where it is not near fluorescent desk lighting
or any equipment that produces magnetic fields that could cause interference. Ensure that the
furniture or equipment can support the weight of the monitor. Allow at least 2 inches (50mm)
ventilation space around the monitor.
4
Height
Position the monitor 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 form lights and windows, usually at a right
angle to any windows. Position the monitor directly in front of you so that you do not have to
twist your body. Tilt the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.
Working Practices
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, and stand up and stretch occasionally, as prolonged
use of computer workstations can be tiring.
Back
Sit back in the chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Use a light touches 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 wrist pad.
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.

Caring for Monitor
Be sure to disconnect the power cord from your monitor before you perform any maintenance
on the monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:
• Gently wipe the covers and the screen with a soft cloth, do not use solvents or
abrasives.
• Never drop water or other liquid into your monitor.
• Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Never use flammable cleaning materials to clean your Lenovo monitor or any other
electrical apparatus.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such
as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched
picture tube.
• Do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar additive as
this may scratch the screen's coating.
• Never apply detergent or other liquid directly to the screen. Dampen the cloth and
then wipe.
