WORKING WITH YOUR DTF-521
As you work with the DTF-521 interactive pen display you can rest your hand lightly on the display
screen, just as if it were a drawing board or sheet of paper.
Because the DTF-521 surface will be a little higher than your desk, consider adjusting the height of your
desk or chair to assure comfortable use of the device.
SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA
To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position the DTF-521, the
pen, and your keyboard so they are easily accessible without unnecessary reaching. The pen display
and any other displays should be positioned so you can view them comfortably with a minimum of
eyestrain.
Here are some other points to keep in mind:
• Take short breaks between tasks to stretch and relax your muscles.
• Use a gentle grip when working with the pen.
• Alternate tasks throughout the day.
• Maintain a good posture at all times. Minimize awkward postures and repetitive movements that
cause discomfort. Change your position if you feel any discomfort due to your work position.
• Alternate between different modes of use.

Tips:
• Be careful that you do not pull the cables out of their connections by accidentally moving the DTF-521 too
far from the computer.
• The pen tether can be used to ensure your pen stays with your pen display. Simply loop one end of the
tether through the tether hole located on the pen, and the other end of the tether through the tether
connection ring. Then use the small thumb screw to attach the tether ring to one of the four attachment
points located on the back of the unit.
• The DTF-521 can also be mounted to articulated arms or other third-party stands meeting the VESA 75
specification for display stands. For details, see Using an alternate mount or stand on page 45.
