on what you should  
consider before you set up your  
monitor.  
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 to use it. Tilt  
the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.

Working Practices  
This section gives  
advice on how you can  
work comfortably and reduce  
fatigue.  
Rest  
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally as  
prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.  
Back  
You should sit back in your chair and use the backrest.  
Hands  
Adjust the seat height so that your forearms are approximately horizontal and  
your wrists are straight when using the keyboard. Your upper arms should be  
relaxed with your elbows near your body.  
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.

visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have your  
eyesight checked regularly.

Auto Setup  
Before carrying out this  
section, it is very  
important that The Setup  
Diskette for Windows 95 or  
Windows 98 has been run.  
(see page 6)  
When you first use your monitor you must perform Auto Setup. This  
procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your  
computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto  
Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the monitor.  
In order to optimise the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the IBM  
Monitor Installation Diskette. Operation of the utility is dependent on the  
operating system on your PC. For correct operation locate the operating  
system on your PC from the table below and follow the appropriate  
instructions. You may choose to run AUTO SETUP for each operating system  
that you use. This means that if you sometimes use your monitor while  
running any version of Windows and sometimes also use it from within DOS  
(not a DOS window), you must run AUTO SETUP for both Windows and DOS.  
You may run versions of AUTO SETUP in any order.  
The Setup Utility  
included on the setup  
diskette is for displaying do  
patterns. They do not replace  
or modify the display dirver.  
The Auto Setup instructions  
require the monitor to be  
warmed up for 15 minutes.  
This is not required for normal  
operation.

Further Information  
Display modes  
The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore,  
you should refer to your computer documentation for details on how to  
change display modes.  
The image size, position and shape may change when the display mode  
changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using AUTO SETUP  
and the monitor controls.  
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker,  
TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your computer  
for 1024 × 768 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.  
For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized  
during manufacture.

Power Management  
If your computer has  
previously been used  
To benefit from power management, the monitor must be used in conjunction  
with a computer that implements the Video Electronics Standards Association  
(VESA) Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS) Standard.  
with a CRT monitor and is  
currently configured to a  
display mode outside the  
range that the Flat Panel  
monitor can display, you  
may need to re-attach the  
CRT monitor temporarily  
until you have re-configured  
the computer, preferably to  
1024 x 768 at 60Hz.  
The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes  
that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period.  
There are several states as described in the table below.  
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the  
ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.  
IBM recommends that you switch off your monitor at the end of each working  
day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods during the  
day.
