Back  
Sit back in your chair and use the backrest.  
Hands  
Adjust the seat height so that your forearms are approximately horizontal and  
your wrists are straight when using the keyboard. Your upper arms should be  
relaxed with your elbows near your body.  
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 this 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.  
Caring for your Monitor  
Be sure to turn off the power before you perform any maintenance on the  
monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:  
Gently wipe the device covers and the screen with a soft cloth.  
Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent;  
do not use solvents or abrasives.  
Never use flammable cleaning material to clean your IBM monitor or any  
other electrical apparatus.

Auto Setup  
Auto Setup  
Auto setup is not required when using digital input.  
The Setup Utility  
included on the installation  
CD is for displaying dot patterns.  
They do not replace or modify the  
display driver.  
When you first use your monitor you must perform Auto Setup. This  
procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your  
computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto  
Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the monitor.  
The Auto Setup instructions  
require the monitor to be warmed  
up for 15 minutes. This is not  
required for normal operation.  
To optimise the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the CD.  
Operation of the utility is dependent on the operating system on your  
computer. For correct operation locate the operating system on your  
computer from the table below and follow the appropriate instructions. You  
can 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 can run versions of  
AUTO SETUP in any order.  
By pressing the Auto key, you will  
have direct access to Auto  
Adjustment.

Further Information  
Display modes  
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 AUTO SETUP  
and the monitor controls.  
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker,  
TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your computer  
for 1024 × 768 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.  
For the display modes listed on the next page, the screen image has been  
optimized during manufacture.

with a computer that implements the Video Electronics Standards Association  
(VESA) Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS) Standard.  
with a CRT monitor and is  
currently configured to a  
display mode outside the  
range that the Flat Panel  
monitor can display, you  
may need to re-attach the  
CRT monitor temporarily  
until youhave re-configured  
the computer, preferably to  
1024 x 768 at 60Hz.  
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.  
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the
