4.2. Installation location
• Keep your monitor and all connected devices away from
moisture and avoid dust, heat, direct sunlight and naked
flames (such as candles, for instance). Non-compliance with
these instructions can lead to faults or damage to the moni-
tor.
• Do not use the device outdoors because external elements
such as rain, snow, etc. could damage it.
• Avoid exposing the device to water droplets or spray and do
not place any liquid-filled containers (vases or similar) on or
next to the device. Liquids penetrating the device may impair
the electrical safety of the product.
• The slots and openings on the monitor are for ventilation pur-
poses. Do not cover these openings (overheating, fire risk)!
• Position the cable so that it cannot be stepped on or tripped
over.
• Make sure that there is enough clearance from the sides of
the furniture unit. Ensure a minimum clearance of 10 cm
around the device for sufficient ventilation.
• Place and operate all the components on a stable, level and
vibration-free surface in order to prevent the monitor from
falling down.
• Avoid glare, reflections and excessive bright-dark contrast to
protect your eyes and guarantee pleasant workstation ergo-
nomics.
• Take regular breaks when working at your monitor to prevent
muscle tension and fatigue.

4.3. Repairs
• Contact customer services if:
– the power cable is burnt or damaged
– liquid has penetrated the monitor
– the monitor is not operating correctly
– the monitor has been dropped or the housing is damaged.
• Repairs to your monitor should only be carried out by quali-
fied specialists.

• The monitor can be operated at an ambient temperature of
+0°C to +35°C with a relative humidity of < 80% (non-con-
densing).
• When switched off, the monitor can be stored at tempera-
tures from –20°C to +60°C.
DANGER!
Risk of electric shock!
Large changes in temperature or fluctuations in humid-
ity can cause moisture build-up within the monitor due
to condensation. This can cause an electrical short-cir-
cuit.

7. Using the device for the rst time
7.1. Before connecting the monitor
It is possible that your existing monitor supports a physical resolution that is not
supported by your new monitor. In this case, the image on your new monitor may
not appear correctly after it has been connected.
To prevent this, select a a physical resolution that is supported by both of your
monitors. Set this physical resolution in your operating system before connect-
ing your new monitor.
A table listing the physical resolutions supported by this monitor can be found in
the section„Setting the screen resolution“ on page 20.
7.2. Mounting
Attach the monitor stand as shown in the illustration. Carry out these steps before
connecting up the monitor.
Place the device onto the stand. Ensure that the connecting piece fits into the
slots on the device and the stand clicks into place.

7.3. Setting up and positioning
Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark contrast in order to pro-
tect your eyes.
The monitor should never be placed next to a window because this is the brightest
part of the room in daylight. This brightness can make it more difficult for the eyes to
adjust to the darker monitor.
The monitor should always be positioned so that the direction of vision is parallel to
the window frontage.
The parallel line of vision should also be maintained in relation to artificial lighting
equipment. In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where the work-
space is illuminated with artificial light.
If it is not possible to position the screen as described, the following can be helpful:
• Rotate, lower or tilt the monitor;
• Slatted or vertical blinds on the windows;
• Partitions or changes to artificial lighting.
Take regular breaks when working at your monitor to prevent tenseness
and fatigue.
Sitting for a long time without changing position can be uncomfortable. Correct
posture is very important for minimising the risks of physical problems or damage.

• In general – change your position frequently (around every 20-30 minutes) and
take regular breaks to avoid tiredness.
• Back – when sitting at your workstation, your back must be supported by your
chair’s backrest, which must be upright or angled slightly back.
• Arms – your arms and elbows should be relaxed and loose. Your elbows should
be close to your body. Hold your forearms and hands roughly parallel to the
floor.
• Wrists – when working with the keyboard, mouse or trackball, your wrists
should be stretched out and not bent at an angle of more than 10°, where possi-
ble. Make sure that your wrists are not resting on the table edge itself.
• Legs – your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly down. Your lower legs
should form an angle with your thighs of approximately 90°. Your feet should be
resting flat on the floor. Use a foot rest if you need one, but first make sure that
your seat height has been adjusted correctly.
• Head – your head should be upright or bent very slightly forward. Do not work
with your head or upper body twisted.
As you work, the top edge of the monitor should be at eye level or very slightly
lower.
The distance between the monitor and the person viewing it depends on indi-
vidual requirements. Distances between 50 and 60cm are commonly used.
