CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR

CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE.

CHECK THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

•For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.

•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 28 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 reﬂ ections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reﬂ ect on your screen.

•If reﬂ ected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare ﬁlter.

•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.

To realize the maximum ergonomics beneﬁts, we recommend the following:

•Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals

•Use the preset Color Setting

•Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60-85Hz

•Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difﬁcult to see and may produce eye fatigue to insufﬁcient contrast.

Cleaning the LCD Panel

•When the liquid crystal panel becomes dusty or dirty, please wipe gently with soft cloth.

•Please do not rub the LCD panel with hard material.

•Please do not apply pressure to the LCD surface.

•Please do not use OA cleaner. OA cleaner will cause deterioration or discolor the LCD surface.

Cleaning the Cabinet

•Gently wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth

•To clean the cabinet, dampen the cloth with a neutral detergent and water, wipe the cabinet and follow with a dry cloth.

NOTE: Many plastics are used on the surface of the cabinet. DO NOT clean with benzene, thinner, alkaline detergent, alcoholic system detergent, glass cleaner, wax, polish cleaner, soap powder, or insecticide. Do not touch rubber or vinyl to the cabinet for a long time. These types of ﬂ uids and fabrics can cause the paint to deteriorate, crack or peel.
