Correct placement and adjustment of
the monitor can reduce eye, shoulder
and neck fatigue. Check the following
when you position the monitor:
For optimum performance, allow 20
minutes for warm-up.
Adjust the monitor height so that the
top of the screen is at or slightly below
eye level. Your eyes should look slight-
ly downward when viewing the middle
of the screen.
Position your monitor no closer than
40 cm and no further away than 70 cm
from your eyes. The optimal distance is
50 cm.
✦
✦
✦
Rest your eyes periodically by focus-
ing on an object at least 20 feet away.
Blink often.
Position the monitor at a 90° angle
to windows and other light sources to
minimize glare and reflections. Adjust
the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do
not reflect on your screen.
If reflected light makes it hard for you
to see your screen, use an anti-glare
filter.
Clean the LCD monitor surface with
a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid
using any cleaning solution or glass
cleaner!

✦
Adjust the monitor’s brightness and
contrast controls to enhance readabil-
ity.
Use a document holder placed close to
the screen.
Position whatever you are looking at
most of the time (the screen or refer-
ence material) directly in front of you to
minimize turning your head while you
are typing.
Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the
monitor for long periods of time to
avoid image persistence (after-image
effects).

Health and Ergonomic Precautions
To maximize ergonomics benefits, we
recommend the following:
Adjust the brightness until the back-
ground raster disappears.
Do not position the contrast control to
its maximum setting.
Use the preset size and position con-
trols with standard signals.
✦
✦
✦
Use the preset color setting.
Use non-interlaced signals with a verti-
cal refresh rate between 60-75 Hz.
Do not use primary color blue on a
dark background, as it is difficult to see
and may produce eye fatigue to insuf-
ficient contrast.
