Logo Black · Complies with Swedish MPR2 standards for low magnetic emissions · Anti-glare screen with anti-static coating · Tilt-swivel base This product has been designed and manufactured to minimize the impact to the environment. The monitor also has a power management feature, which a personal computer can control to reduce the monitor 's output power levels while not in use, thus saving energy. Audience This guide is intended for users who wish to install the monitor. Conventions The following conventions are used in this document: ------------------------------------------------------------ Convention Meaning ------------------------------------------------------------ Note Provides general information. Caution Provides information to prevent damage to equipment. Warning Provides information to prevent injury. ------------------------------------------------------------ Proper Setup and Use--Important Information Certain recent scientific literature suggests that poor posture, work habits, or office equipment setup may cause injuries. Other literature suggests that there is no cause and effect. Because the safety of our users is a great concern, it is important to take the precautions described in Table 1. If you experience pain or discomfort while using the monitor, take a substantial break and review the instructions for posture and work habits. If your pain or discomfort continues when you resume using the monitor, discontinue use and report the condition to your job supervisor or physician. vi Table 1 Recommendations for Proper Setup and Use ------------------------------------------------------------ Adjust So that your . . . ------------------------------------------------------------ Chair 1 Feet are flat on the floor or footrest, if needed. 2 Legs are vertical forming a right angle to the floor. 3 Weight is off your thighs and are in a horizontal position. Keep the back of your knees away from the seat so you do not compress the area behind them, which could restrict the blood flow. 4 Upper body is erect and your lower back is supported with a backrest. Keyboard 5 Wrists are straight and do not flex more than 15°. They may be supported but should not rest on sharp edges. Table 1 (Cont.) Recommendations for Proper Setup and Use ------------------------------------------------------------ Adjust To . . . ------------------------------------------------------------ 6 Keep your upper arms straight down at your sides, elbows close to your sides to support your arm weight. Forearms should be at a 70° to 90° angle. Head 7 Avoid neck strain. Your head should incline downward, but no more than 15° to 20°. Monitor 8 Keep eye level and the correct distance for proper vision. Eyes 9 Avoid eye fatigue, which can be caused by glare, image quality, uncomfortable furniture, eye height, and uncorrected vision. If you cannot read the screen at different distances, you may need special glasses. Relax your eyes periodically by looking at distant objects. Work Breaks Take periodic work breaks. Morning, lunch, and afternoon breaks meet most recommendations. Take advantage of work breaks to move around and do other movements. Lighting Avoid direct lighting or sunlight on the screen, which causes glare and reflections. The monitor screen has an antiglare treatment to reduce glare. Place lighting behind or to the side of your work area, and distribute the lighting evenly on your work area. Adjust the monitor brightness and the contrast controls as needed. Noise Keep background noise at a minimum. Background noise above 65 dBA is tiring. Sound-absorbing materials, such as curtains, carpeting, and acoustic tile, can help reduce background noise. Temperature 20°C to 23°C (68°F to 74°F) Humidity 30% to 70% Ventilation Provide adequate air ventilation for equipment operation and to avoid fatigue. Space between terminals More than 70 cm (28 in) center to center, preferably more than 152 cm (60 in). ------------------------------------------------------------ viii Installation/Operating Guidelines Observe the following basic rules for installation and use. Do . . . · Use the power cord supplied with the monitor, which is UL-, CSA-, and VDE-approved. · Turn the monitor off when not being used for an extended period of time. Do Not . . . · Overload the ac outlet. · Move the monitor on a stand over carpet or thresholds. · Push objects into the monitor 's openings. · Add accessories that are not designed for this monitor. · Operate the monitor near water or in a damp environment, which could cause an electrical shock hazard. · Operate the monitor near magnets, motor devices, transformers, high power lines, or large steel pillars, which can cause distortion in the picture. · Obstruct the ventilation openings in the monitor 's cabinet, such as placing the monitor on a rug or within an enclosure. · Place the monitor near a radiator or heat source. ix 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Installation 1.1 Install the tilt/swivel stand. 1.
