Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

Important Safety Information
The power cord is designed for use with your monitor. To use a different cord, use only a power source and connection compatible with this monitor.
WARNING: Always connect your monitor, the computer, and other equipment to a grounded (earthed) power outlet. To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
WARNING: For your safety, be sure that the grounded power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily accessible to the operator and located as close to the equipment as possible. To disconnect power from the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by grasping the plug firmly. Never pull on the cord.
CAUTION: To protect your monitor, as well as your computer, connect all power cords for your computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, or scanner) to a surge protection device such as a power strip with surge protection or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strips must be specifically labelled as having this ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a damage replacement policy, so you can replace your equipment if surge protection fails.
CAUTION: A certified power supply cord has to be used with this equipment. The relevant national installation and/or equipment regulations shall be considered. A certified power supply cord not lighter than ordinary polyvinyl chloride flexible cord according to IEC 60227 (designation H05VV-F 3G 0.75mm² or H05VVH2-F2 3G 0.75mm²) shall be used. An alternative flexible cord is synthetic rubber.
Safety Precautions
■Use only a power source and connection compatible with this monitor, as indicated on the label/back plate of the monitor.
■Be sure the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the current rating of the electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products connected to the power cord does not exceed the rating of the power cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (Amps or A) for each device.
■ Install your monitor near a power outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.
■ Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.
■ While using VESA mount application, the AC Inlet must face to down side. Do not face any other position.
Maintenance Guidelines
To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor:
■ Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. If your monitor is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your Lenovo authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
■ Adjust only those controls that are described in the operating instructions.
■ Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of the monitor by using a
screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.
■ Keep your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, or moisture.
■ Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be blocked or covered.
Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.
■ Unplug the monitor from the power outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
■ Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
■ When removing the monitor base, you must lay the monitor face down on a soft area to prevent it from getting
scratched, defaced, or broken.
Cleaning the Monitor
The monitor is a high-quality optical device that requires special care when cleaning. To clean the monitor, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer and the monitor.
2. Unplug your monitor from the power outlet before cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any volatile substance to clean the monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals may damage the monitor. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Never use water to clean an LCD screen.
3. Wipe the screen with a dry, soft, clean cloth. If the screen requires additional cleaning, use an antistatic screen
cleaner.

Chapter 2 Adjusting and using your monitor

This section will give you information on adjusting and using your monitor.

Comfort and accessibility

Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and to avoid discomfort. Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your individual needs and the kind of work that you perform. In addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your performance and comfort while using your computer.

Arranging your work area

Use a work surface of appropriate height and available working area to allow you to work in comfort.
Organize you work area to match the way you use materials and equipment. Keep your work area clean and clear for the materials that you typically use and place the items that you use most frequently, such as the computer mouse or telephone, within the easiest reach.
Equipment layout and setup play a large role in your working posture. The following topics describe how to optimize equipment setup to achieve and maintain good working posture.
Positioning and viewing your monitor Position and adjust your computer monitor for comfortable viewing by considering the following items:
● Viewing distance: Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from approximately 510mm to 760mm (20 in to 30 in) and can vary depending on ambient light and time of day. You can achieve different viewing distances by repositioning your monitor or by modifying your posture or chair position. Use a viewing distance that is most comfortable for you.
● Monitor height: Position the monitor so your head and neck are in a comfortable and neutral (vertical, or upright) position. If your monitor does not have height adjustments, you might have to place books or other sturdy objects under the base of the monitor to achieve the desired height. A general guideline is to position the monitor such that the top of the screen is at or slightly below your eye-height when you are comfortably seated. However, be sure to optimize your monitor height so the line of site between your eyes and the centre of the monitor suits your preferences for visual distance and comfortable viewing when your eye muscles are in a relaxed stated.
● Tilt : Adjust the tilt of your monitor to optimize the appearance of the screen content and to accommodate your preferred head and neck posture.
● General location: Position your monitor to avoid glare or reflections on the screen from overhead lighting or nearby windows.
The following are some other tips for comfortable viewing of your monitor:
● Use adequate lighting for the type of work you are performing.
● Use the monitor brightness, contrast, and image adjustment controls, if equipped, to optimize
the image on your screen to meet your visual preferences.
● Keep your monitor screen clean so you can focus on the screen’s contents.
Any concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring for your eyes. Be sure to periodically look away from your monitor screen and focus on a far object to allow your eye muscles to relax. If you have questions on eye fatigue or visual discomfort, consult a vision care specialist for advice.

Quick tips for healthy work habits

The following information is a summary of some important factors to consider to help you remain comfortable and productive while you use your computer.
● Good posture starts with equipment setup: The layout of your work area and the setup of your computer equipment have a large effect on your posture while using your computer. Be sure to optimize the position and orientation of your equipment by following the tips outlined in “Arranging your work area ” on page 2-1 so you can maintain a comfortable and productive posture. Also, be sure to use the adjustment capabilities of your computer components and office furniture to best suit your preferences now and as your preferences change over time.
● Minor changes in posture can help avoid discomfort: The longer you sit and work in front of your computer, the more important it is to observe your working posture. Avoid as summing any one posture for an extended period of time. Periodically make minor modifications in your posture to help deter any discomforts that might arise. Make use of any adjustments that your office furniture or equipment provide to accommodate changes in posture
● Short, periodic breaks help ensure healthy computing: Because computing is primarily a static activity, it is particularly important to take short breaks from your work. Periodically, stand up in front of your work area, stretch, walk for a drink of water, or otherwise take a short break from using your computer. A short break from work gives your body a welcome change in posture and helps to ensure you remain comfortable and productive while you do work.

Selecting a supported display mode

The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore, refer to your computer documentation for details on how to change display modes.
The image size, position and shape might change when the display mode changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using automatic image setup and the image controls.
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker, LCD or Flat Panel technology is inherently flicker-free.
Note: If your system has previously been used with a CRT monitor and is currently configured to a display mode outside the range of this monitor, you may need to re-attach the CRT monitor temporarily until you have re-configured the system; preferably to 3840x2160 at 60Hz, which is the Native Resolution Display mode.
The display modes shown below have been optimized at the factory.
