Working Practices

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.

Height

The monitor should be positioned 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 from lights and
windows, usually at a right angle to any windows. The monitor
should be positioned directly in front of you so that you do not
have to twist your body. Tilt the monitor to a comfortable

viewing angle.

4

Rest

Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, and stand up and
stretch occasionally as prolonged use of computer
workstations can be tiring.

Back

You should sit back in the chair and use the back rest.

Hands

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 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.

User controls

The image is already optimised for many display modes. However, the controls can be used to adjust the image to your liking.

Degauss & Reset

Function

DEGAUSS

RESET

Demagnetizes the monitor .
Discoloration of the image can be caused by gradual magnetization of the
monitor components. This is particularly likely to occur when the monitor is
moved or rotated. The monitor may "buzz" momentarily when this user control
is selected and the image will change color and wobble for a few seconds.
These effects are normal. Do not use this feature more than once in any 30
minutes period.

YES :The screen will degauss.
NO:Escape the DEGAUSS function.

Reset all settings back to the factory defaults.

YES:Confirm the RESETfunction.

NO:Escape the RESET function.

Further information

Display modes

The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the
computer. Therefore you should refer to your computer
documentation for details on how to change display modes.

The image size, position and shape may change when the
display mode changes. This is normal and the image can be
readjusted using the monitor controls.

To ensure flicker-free operation, select the highest (non­interlaced) refresh rate both the computer and the monitor can
support, (generally 75 Hz or higher), for the addressability that
your application requires.

For the display modes listed below, the screen image has
been optimised during manufacture.

Power Management

To benefit from power management, the monitor must be used
in conjunction with a computer that implements the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Power
Management Signalling (DPMS) Standard.

The power management feature is invoked when the computer
recognizes that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for
a user-definable period of time. There are several states as
described in the table below.
