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:
y
y
y
y
y
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:
y
y
y
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
y
take short rests to relax your neck and shoulders
y

y Give your eyes regular breaks by looking away from the monitor and focusing on a distant point.
y Blink frequently to keep your eyes from drying out.
Display
y Keep your display clean.
y 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.
y Adjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level for enhanced text readability
and graphics clarity.
y Eliminate glare and reflections by:

STANDARD TIMING TABLE
To reduce the need for adjustment for different modes, the monitor has default setting modes that are most
commonly used as given in the table below. For optimum adjustment, the user is suggested to perform the
Auto Setup under Windows “Full Screen” pattern or using the pattern in the floppy disk provided. The only
condition to store as a user mode is the new display information must have 1 KHz difference for horizontal
frequency or 1 Hz for vertical frequency or the sync signal polarities are different from the default modes.
