Setup
Hardware Requirements
This Monitor requires a computer with a suitable on-board sub-system or Video Adapter card that can
support SXGA 1024 x 768 at 75 Hz.
Make sure the PC's video mode is set in the range of the supported screen addressability shown in the
table on page 21.
Workplace Preparation
Positioning the Monitor
This section gives advice
on what you should
consider before you set up your
monitor.
Choose a suitable place to position the monitor where it is not near
fluorescent desk lighting. 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 to use it. Tilt
the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.
Lifting the Monitor
Do notsupport the monitor
withinthescreenarea.The
Liquid Crystal Display is glass
and can be damaged by rough
handling or excessive pressure.
Hold the bottom of the screen with both hands in the positions shown.

Working Practices
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally as
prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.
This section gives advice
on how you can work
comfortably and reduce fatigue.
Back
You should sit back in your chair and use the backrest.
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
