Setting Up
Remember that choosing the proper location for your PC is just as important as connecting it correctly. Place your PC in a stable, vibration-free area. Detailed below are additional guidelines on setting up your PC.
POSITIONING THE MONITOR
i
Ensure that the monitor is set up in such a way that reflections, glare and light/darkness contrast are avoided.
You should not position the monitor in close proximity to a win­dow, because this is the brightest area of the room because of daylight. This brightness impedes the adjustment of the eyes to the darker monitor.
Always position the monitor in a line of sight that runs parallel to the window front (see picture). You should also apply a parallel line of sight with respect to artifi­cial lighting. This means that in a room lit by artificial light essen­tially the same criteria and objectives apply. Should it not be pos­sible to arrange the monitor as outlined above, the following measures might be helpful:
Turn, lower or incline the monitor.
Place horizontal or vertical shades at the windows.

WORKING IN COMFORT
i
Take regular breaks from the work at your screen to prevent tenseness and exhaustion.
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it’s impor­tant that you maintain proper posture.
Overall: Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid fatigue.
Back: While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported by the chair’s backrest in erect position or angled slightly backwards.
Legs: Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly down­ward. Your lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Your feet should rest flat on the floor. If necessary, use a footrest, but double check that you have your seat height adjusted cor­rectly before getting a footrest.
Arms: Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides, with forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor.
Wrists: Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the keyboard, mouse or trackball. They should not be bent side­ways, or more than 10 degrees up or down.
Head: Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. Avoid working with your head or trunk twisted.

SET-UP LOCATION
Keep your PC and all units connected to it away from mois­ture, dust, heat and direct sunlight. Failure to observe
these instructions can lead to malfunctions or damage to the PC.
To prevent damage to your PC from a fall, place and operate the PC and all connected units on a stable, balanced and
vibration-free surface.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The PC can be operated at an ambient temperature of between 10° C and 35° C (+41° and +95° F) and at a relative humidity of between 30% and 70% (without condensation).
When powered off, the PC can be stored at temperatures between -20° C and 50° C (–40° and +158° F).
To provide additional protection against electric shock, power surges, lightning strikes, or other electrical dam­age to your PC, we recommend the use of a surge protector.
Wait until the PC has reached ambient (room) temperature before turning it on or connecting it to the power adapter. Drastic variations in temperature and humidity can cre­ate condensation within the PC and may cause it to short- circuit.
