Important: Before connecting the monitor, turn off the computer and attached devices. Also
ensure the power at the electrical outlet matches the power requirements of the monitor.
Refer to the Specifications section on page 18 for more details.
Attaching the stand
1. Place the monitor face down on a soft surface to prevent the screen being scratched.
2. Insert the hook (1) into the matching slots on the underside of the monitor (2).
3. Slide the base towards the front of the monitor until the latch (3) clicks into the locked
position.

Connecting your monitor
1. Connect the signal cable to the video port on the back of your computer (figure A).
Your computer may have a video adapter card installed. In this case, attach the
signal cable to the connector on the video adapter card (figure B)
2. Connect the power cord to the monitor first, and then firmly insert the plug into a
properly grounded electrical outlet.
3. Turn on the monitor, and then the computer.
If your monitor does not seem to be working correctly, refer to the Troubleshooting section for
help.
Workplace preparation
Positioning the monitor
Choose a suitable place to position the monitor where it is not near fluorescent desk lighting
or any equipment that produces magnetic fields that could cause interference. Ensure that the
furniture or equipment can support the weight of the monitor. Allow at least 2 inches (50mm)
ventilation space around the monitor.
4
Height
Position the monitor 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 form lights and windows, usually at a right
angle to any windows. Position the monitor directly in front of you so that you do not have to
twist your body. Tilt the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.
Working Practices
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, and stand up and stretch occasionally, as prolonged
use of computer workstations can be tiring.
Back
Sit back in the chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Use a light touches 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 wrist pad.
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.

Further information
Display modes
The display mode and monitor uses are controlled by the computer. Therefore, 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 the monitor controls.
To ensure flicker-free operation, select the highest (non-interlaced) refresh rate both the
computer and the monitor can support, (generally 75 Hz or higher), for the addressability that
your application requires.
For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimised during manufacture.

Power Management
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.
The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes that you have not
used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period of time. There are several states as
