Ergonomic Precautions
Correct placement and adjustment of the
monitor can reduce eye, shoulder, and
neck fatigue. Check the following when
you position the monitor:
✦ For optimum performance, allow 20
minutes for warm-up.
✦ Adjust the monitor height so that the
top of the screen is at, or slightly be-
low eye level. Your eyes should look
slightly downward when viewing the
middle of the screen.
✦ Position your monitor no closer than
40 cm and no further away than 70
cm from your eyes. The optimal dis-
tance is 50 cm.
✦ Rest your eyes periodically by fo-
cusing on an object at least 20 feet
away. Blink often.
✦ Position the monitor at a 90° angle
to windows and other light sources
to minimize glare and reflections.
Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling
lights do not reflect on your screen.
✦ If reflected light makes it hard for you
to see your screen, use an anti-glare
filter.
✦ Clean the LCD monitor surface with
a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid
using any cleaning solution or
glass cleaner.
✦ Adjust the monitor’s brightness and
contrast controls to enhance read-
ability.
✦ Use a document holder placed close
to the screen.
✦ Position whatever you are looking at
most of the time (the screen or refer-
ence material) directly in front of you
to minimize turning your head while
you are typing.
✦ Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the
monitor for long periods of time to
avoid image persistence (after-image
effects).
✦ To maximize ergonomic benefits, we
recommend the following:
✦ Adjust the brightness until the back-
ground raster disappears.
✦ Do not position the contrast control
to its maximum setting.
✦ Use the preset size and position con-
trols with standard signals.
✦ Use the preset color setting.
✦ Use non-interlaced signals with a
vertical refresh rate between 60-75
Hz.
✦ Do not use primary color blue on a
dark background, as it is difficult to
see and may produce eye fatigue
due to insufficient contrast.
