Follow the safety instructions listed at the beginning of this manual.

Use a large, sturdy desk that can support the weight of your computer, monitor, and peripheral devices and provides ample space to hold your equipment and work materials.

For your comfort, it is best to place the monitor directly in front of you and sit about an arm’s length away from it.

To minimize glare and reduce eye fatigue, position the monitor so that sunlight, desk lamps, or overhead lights do not shine directly on the screen.

For comfortable viewing, the top of the screen should be slightly below eye level when you are sitting in front of the monitor. Your line of sight to the screen should be about 10° to 20° below eye level.
