Chapter 2. Adjusting and using your monitor

This section will give you information on adjusting and using your monitor.

Comfort and accessibility

Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and to avoid discomfort. Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your individual needs and the kind of work that you perform. In addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your performance and comfort while using your computer. For more detailed information on any of these topics, visit the Healthy Computing Web site at: http://www.lenovo.com/healthycomputing/.

Arranging your work area

Use a work surface of appropriate height and available working area to allow you to work in comfort.

Organize your work area to match the way you use materials and equipment. Keep your work area clean and clear for the materials that you typically use and place the items that you use most frequently, such as the computer mouse or telephone, within the easiest reach.

Equipment layout and setup play a large role in your working posture. The following topics describe how to optimize equipment setup to achieve and maintain good working posture.

Positioning and viewing your monitor

Position and adjust your computer monitor for comfortable viewing by considering the following items:

- Viewing distance: Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from approximately 510mm to 760mm (20 in to 30 in) and can vary depending on ambient light and time of day. You can achieve different viewing distances by

• Use the monitor brightness, contrast, and image adjustment controls, if equipped, to optimize the image on your screen to meet your visual preferences.
• Keep your monitor screen clean so you can focus on the screen's contents.
• When monitor attach Tiny, Please ensure that the configuration/tabletop is stable and level.

Any concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring for your eyes. Be sure to periodically look away from your monitor screen and focus on a far object to allow your eye muscles to relax. If you have questions on eye fatigue or visual discomfort, consult a vision care specialist for advice.

Quick tips for healthy work habits

The following information is a summary of some important factors to consider to help you remain comfortable and productive while you use your computer.

• Good posture starts with equipment setup: The layout of your work area and the setup of your computer equipment have a large effect on your posture while using your computer. Be sure to optimize the position and orientation of your equipment by following the tips outlined in "Arranging your work area" on page 2-1 so you can maintain a comfortable and productive posture. Also, be sure to use the adjustment capabilities of your computer components and office furniture to best suit your preferences now and as your preferences change over time.
• Minor changes in posture can help avoid discomfort: The longer you sit and work with your computer, the more important it is to observe your working posture. Avoid assuming any one posture for an extended period of time. Periodically make minor modifications in your posture to help deter any discomforts that might arise. Make use of any adjustments that your office furniture or equipment provide to accommodate changes in posture
• Short, periodic breaks help ensure healthy computing: Because computing is primarily a static activity, it is particularly important to take short breaks from your work. Periodically, stand up from your work area, stretch, walk for a drink of water, or otherwise take a short break from using your computer. A short break from work gives your body a welcome change in posture and helps to ensure you remain comfortable and productive while you do work.

Adjusting your monitor image

This section describes the user control features for adjusting your monitor image.

Using the direct access controls

The direct access controls can be used when the On Screen Display (OSD) is not displayed.

Selecting a supported display mode

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 automatic image setup and the image controls.

Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker, LCD or Flat Panel technology is inherently flicker-free.

Note: If your system has previously been used with a CRT monitor and is currently configured to a display mode outside the range of this monitor, you may need to re-attach the CRT monitor temporarily until you have re-configured the system; preferably to 1366 x 768 at 60Hz , which is the Native Resolution Display mode.

The display modes shown below have been optimized at the factory.

Understanding power management

Power management is invoked when the computer recognizes that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period. There are several states as described in the table below.

For optimal performance, switch off your monitor at the end of each working day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods during the day.

State Power Indicator Screen			Restoring Operation
On green Normal
Standby/Suspend	Amber Blank Press a key or		move the mouseThere may be a slight delay before the image reappearsNote: Standby also occurs if there is no image output to the monitor
Off Off Blank

Caring for your monitor

Be sure to turn off the power before you perform any maintenance on the monitor. Do not:

• Apply water or liquid directly to your monitor.
• Use solvents or abrasives.
• Use flammable cleaning materials to clean your monitor or any other electrical equipment.

- Touch the screen area of your monitor with sharp or abrasive items. This type of contact may cause permanent damage to your screen.

- Use any cleaner which contains an anti-static solution or similar additives. This may harm the coating of the screen area.

Do:

- Lightly dampen a soft cloth with water and use this to gently wipe the covers and the screen.

- Remove grease or finger marks with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent.
