system on your computer. You may choose to run AUTO SETUP for each  
operating system that you use. This means that if you sometimes use your  
monitor while running any version of Windows and sometimes also use it  
from within DOS (not a DOS window), you must run AUTO SETUP for both  
Windows and DOS. You may run versions of AUTO SETUP in any order.

level when you sit at your workstation.  
consider before you set up  
your monitor.  
Orientation  
- Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and windows,  
usually at a right angle to any windows.  
- Positon the monitor directly in front of you so that you do not have to twist  
your body to use it.  
- Tilt the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.  
Working Practices  
This section gives advice  
ion how you can work  
comfortably and reduce  
fatigue.  
Rest  
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally  
as prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.  
Back  
Sit back in your chair and use the backrest.  
Hands  
Use a light touch 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 wristpad.  
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 these settings as the lighting changes during the day. Many  
application programs let you select color combinations which can help you  
to view in comfort. See the User controls section on page 15 for more  
information.

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 Signaling  
(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.  
There are several states as described in the table below.
