Once your monitor is in place, either on top of your computer or next to it on a desk or table, follow these steps:

Place the monitor so that the screen faces the user.

To slide the monitor, lift the front up slightly and push or pull in the direction you want.

Adjust the viewing angle of the monitor by tilting it up or down and turning it left or right on its stand.

Shoulders relaxed

Forearms and hands in a straight line

Forearms level or tilted up slightly

Lower back supported

Thighs horizontal

Position the monitor so that when you use it, no bright light is behind the monitor or reflected on the screen. Your eyes should be about level with the top edge of the screen and between 18 and 28 inches (45 to 70 cm) away. Take occasional breaks when using your computer, to focus your eyes on a distant object.

For your greatest comfort, use the following illustration to help you in positioning your monitor.

45–70 cm (18–28 in.)
