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
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.

Eyesight
Working with monitors, in common with any 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. See the User controls section on page 19 for more information.
Caring for your Monitor
Be sure to turn off the power before you perform any maintenance on the
monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:
•
•
Gently wipe the device covers and the screen with a soft cloth.
Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent;
do not use solvents or abrasives
•
•
Never use flammable cleaning material to clean your IBM monitor or any
other electrical apparatus.
Connect the power cord to the power port on the back of your monitor if
the power cord supplied is not attached to the monitor. Then insert the

you must run AUTO IMAGE SETUP for both Windows and DOS. You can run
versions of AUTO IMAGE SETUP in any order.
The Auto Image Setup
instructions require the monitor to
be warmed up for 15 minutes.

Further Information
Display modes
The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore,
refer to your computer documentation for details on how to change display
modes.
The image size, position and shape might change when the display mode
changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using AUTO IMAGE
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 1280 × 1024 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed on the next page, the screen image has been
optimized during manufacture.
