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. Power off your computer and all attached devices, and unplug the computer power  
cord.  
2. 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).  
3. Connect the power cord to the monitor first, and then firmly insert the plug into a  
properly grounded electrical outlet. Plug the computer cord into a properly grounded  
electrical outlet.  
4. 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.

Caring for Monitor  
Be sure to disconnect the power cord from your monitor before you perform any maintenance  
on the monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:  
Gently wipe the covers and the screen with a soft cloth, do not use solvents or  
abrasives.  
Never drop water or other liquid into your monitor.  
Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent.  
Never use flammable cleaning materials to clean your Lenovo monitor or any other  
electrical apparatus.  
Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such  
as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched  
picture tube.  
Do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar additive as  
this may scratch the screen's coating.  
Never apply detergent or other liquid directly to the screen. Dampen the cloth and  
then wipe.

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  
described in the table below.
