Check that the monitor is correctly connected to the computer.

If NO SIGNAL appears on the screen, try changing the input signal (page 6), and confirm that your computer’s graphics board is completely seated in the correct bus slot.

If you are replacing an old monitor with this model and OUT OF SCAN RANGE appears on the screen, reconnect the old monitor. Then adjust the computer’s graphics board so that the horizontal frequency is between 30 – 130 kHz and the vertical frequency is between 48 – 170 Hz.

Workplace Preparation

Positioning the Monitor

Choose a suitable place to position the monitor where it is not near fluorescent desk lighting or any equipment that produces magnetic fields that could cause interference.

Ensure that the furniture or equipment can support the weight of the monitor. Allow at least 2 inches (50mm) ventilation space around the monitor.

Height

The monitor should be positioned so that the top of the screen is slightly below your eye level when you sit at your workstation.

Orientation

Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and windows, usually at a right angle to any windows. The monitor should be positioned directly in front of you so that you do not have to twist your body. Tilt the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.

Working Practices

Rest

 

Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, and stand up and stretch

 

occasionally as prolonged use of computer workstations can be

 

US

tiring.

Back

 

You should sit back in the chair and use the backrest.

 

Hands

 

Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and fingers

 

relaxed. Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists

 

when not typing. Consider using a wristpad.

 

Eyesight

 

Working with monitors, in common with any kind of prolonged

 

close work, can be visually demanding. Look away from the

 

screen periodically and have your eyesight checked regularly.

 

Screen settings

 

Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level.

 

You may have to adjust this as the lighting changes during the

 

day. Many application programs let you select color combinations

 

which can help you to view in comfort.
