CAUTION
•
CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE
MONITOR CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK
FATIGUE. CHECK THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION
•
Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is
at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look
slightly downward when viewing the middle of the
screen.
•
Position your monitor no closer than 16 inches and no
further away than 24 inches from your eyes. The optimal
distance is 20 inches.
•
Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at
least 20 feet away. Blink often.
•
Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to
minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not
reflect on your screen.
•
If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.
•
Clean your monitor regularly. Use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and a non-
alcohol, neutral, non-abrasive cleaning solution or glass cleaner to minimize
dust.
•
Adjust the monitor's brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.
•
Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
•
Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference
material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head while you are
typing.
•
Get regular eye checkups.
Ergonomics
To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:
•
Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears
•
Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting
•
Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals
•
Use the preset Color Setting and Sides Left/Right controls
•
Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 75-120Hz
•
Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and
may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient contrast

Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can
properly dissipate. Do not block ventilated openings or place the
monitor near a radiator or other heat sources. Do not put
anything on top of monitor.
The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching
the system from the power supply. The monitor should be
installed close to a power outlet which is easily accessible.
Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for
transporting.
