Caring for your Monitor

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.

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.
