Tips and information for comfortable use
Computer users may complain of eyestrain and headaches after prolonged use. Users are also at risk of
physical injury after long hours of working in front of a computer. Long work periods, bad posture, poor work
habits, stress, inadequate working conditions, personal health and other factors greatly increase the risk of
physical injury.
Incorrect computer usage may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis or other
musculoskeletal disorders. The following symptoms may appear in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck
or back:
numbness, or a burning or tingling sensation
aching, soreness or tenderness
pain, swelling or throbbing
stiffness or tightness
coldness or weakness
If you have these symptoms, or any other recurring or persistent discomfort and/or pain related to computer
use, consult a physician immediately and inform your company’s health and safety department.
The following section provides tips for more comfortable computer use.
Finding your comfort zone
Find your comfort zone by adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor, using a footrest, or raising your sitting
height to achieve maximum comfort. Observe the following tips:
refrain from staying too long in one fixed posture
avoid slouching forward and/or leaning backward
stand up and walk around regularly to remove the strain on your leg muscles
take short rests to relax your neck and shoulders
avoid tensing your muscles or shrugging your shoulders
install the external display, keyboard and mouse properly and within comfort able reach
if you view your monitor more than your documents, place the display at the center of your desk to
minimize neck strain

Taking care of your vision
Long viewing hours, wearing incorrect glasses or contact lenses, glare, excessive room lighting, poorly
focused screens, very small typefaces and low-contrast displays could stress your eyes. The following
sections provide suggestions on how to reduce eyestrain.
Eyes
Rest your eyes frequently.
Give your eyes regular breaks by looking away from the monitor and focusing on a distant point.
Blink frequently to keep your eyes from drying out.
Display
Keep your display clean.
Keep your head at a higher level than the top edge of the display so your eyes point downward
when looking at the middle of the display.
Adjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level for enhanced text readability
and graphics clarity.
Eliminate glare and reflections by:
placing your display in such a way that the side faces the window or any light source
minimizing room light by using drapes, shades or blinds
using a task light
changing the display’s viewing angle
using a glare-reduction filter
using a display visor, such as a piece of cardboard extended from the display’s top front edge
Avoid adjusting your display to an awkward viewing angle.
Avoid looking at bright light sources, such as open windows, for extended periods of time.
Developing good work habits
Develop the following work habits to make your computer use more relaxing and productive:
Take short breaks regularly and often.
Perform some stretching exercises.
Breathe fresh air as often as possible.
Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy body.
Warning! We do not recommend using the product on a couch or bed. If this is unavoidable, work
for only short periods, take breaks regularly, and do some stretching exercises.

Check first to make sure that the power cord you use is the correct type required for your area.
This monitor has a universal power supply that allows operation in either 100/120V AC or 220/240 V
AC voltage areas. No user-adjustment is required.
Plug one end of the power cord to the AC Inlet, plug another end to a proper AC outlet.
For unit using at 120 V AC:
Use a UL Listed Cord Set, Type SVT wire and plug rated 10 A/125 V.
For unit using at 220/240 V AC (outside of U.S.):
Use a Cord Set consisting of H05VV-F cord and plug rated 10 A, 250 V. The cord set should have the
appropriate safety approvals for the country in which the equipment will be installed.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Avoid placing the monitor, or any other heavy object, on the power cord to avoid damage to the cable.
Do not expose the monitor to rain, excessive moisture, or dust.
Do not cover the ventilation slots or openings of the monitor. Always put the monitor in a place where
there is adequate ventilation.
Avoid placing the monitor against a bright background or where sunlight or other light sources may
reflect on the face of the monitor. Place the monitor just below eye level.
Handle with care when transporting the monitor.
Refrain from giving shock or scratch to the screen, as screen is fragile.

To make your installation easier, the monitor is able to Plug and Play with your system if your system also
supports DDC protocol. The DDC (Display Data Channel) is a communication protocol through which the
monitor automatically informs the host system about its capabilities, for example, supported resolutions and
corresponding timing. The monitor supports DDC2B standard.
