							vUse adequate lighting for the type of work you are performing.
v Use the monitor brightness, contrast, and image adjustment controls, if
equipped, to optimize the image on your screen to meet your visual preferences.
v Keep your monitor screen clean so you can focus on the screen’s contents.
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.
v 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.
v 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
v 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.

							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
u
sed your mouse or keyboard for a u
ser-definable period. There are several states
as described in the table below.
Fo r optimal performance, switch off your monitor at the end of each working day,
or whenever you expect to leave it u
nused for long periods during the day.
Table 2-4. Power indicator
2-6Flat Panel Monitor User  s GuideL194
Table 2-3. Factory set display modes
Selecting a supported display mode
The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore, refer
to your compu
ter 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 u
sing automatic image setup and
th e image controls.
Unlik e CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker, LCD or
Fla t Panel technology is inherently flicker-free.
Note: If your system has previously been u
sed with a CRT monitor and is
cu
r rently configured to a display mode ou
tside the range of this monitor, you may
need to re-attach the CRT monitor temporarily u
ntil you have re-configured the
system; preferably to at 60 Hz, which is the Native Resolution Display
mode.
