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.
• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 5
feet away. Blink often.
• Position the monitor at a 90˚ angle to windows and other light
sources to minimize glare and reflections.
• Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, nonabrasive cloth.
Avoid using any cleaning solution or glass cleaner.
• Adjust the monitor's brightness and contrast controls to enhance
readability.
• Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods
of time to avoid image persistence (afterimage effects).
• Get regular eye checkups.
• The backlight lamp contains mercury. Please handle it appro-
priately in case of disposal.
Ergonomics
To realize the maximum ergonomic benefits, we recommend the
following:
• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard
signals.
• Use the preset Color Setting.
• Use non-interlaced signals.
• 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.
