This section will give you information on adjusting and using your monitor.
Comfort and accessibility
Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal
computer and to avoid discomfort. Arrange your workplace and the equipment
you use to suit your individual needs and the kind of work that you perform. In
addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your performance and comfort
while using your computer.
For more detailed information on any of these topics, visit the IBM Healthy
Computing Web site at: http://www.ibm.com/pc/ww/healthycomputing
Arranging your work area
Use a work surface of appropriate height and available working area to allow you
to work in comfort.
Organize your work area to match the way you use materials and equipment.
Keep your work area clean and clear for the materials that you typically use and
place the items that you use most frequently, such as the computer mouse or
telephone, within the easiest reach.
Equipment layout and setup play a large role in your working posture. The
following topics describe how to optimize equipment setup to achieve and
maintain good working posture.
Positioning and viewing your monitor
Position and adjust your computer monitor for comfortable viewing by considering
the following items:
v Viewing distance: Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from
approximately 510mm to 760mm (20 in to 30 in) and can vary depending on
ambient light and time of day. You can achieve different viewing distances by
repositioning your monitor or by modifying your posture or chair position. Use
a viewing distance that is most comfortable for you.
v Monitor height: Position the monitor so your head and neck are in a
comfortable and neutral (vertical, or upright) position. If your monitor does not
have height adjustments, you might have to place books or other sturdy objects
under the base of the monitor to achieve the desired height. A general guideline
is to position the monitor such that the top of the screen is at or slightly below
your eye-height when you are comfortably seated. However, be sure to optimize
your monitor height so the line of site between your eyes and the center the
monitor suits your preferences for visual distance and comfortable viewing
when your eye muscles are in a relaxed state.
v Tilt: Adjust the tilt of your monitor to optimize the appearance of the screen
content and to accommodate your preferred head and neck posture.
v General location: Position your monitor to avoid glare or reflections on the
screen from overhead lighting or nearby windows.
The following are some other tips for comfortable viewing of your monitor:
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2005 2-1
v Use 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.

Selecting a supported display mode
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 automatic image setup and
the image controls.
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker, LCD or
Flat Panel technology is inherently flicker-free.
Note: If your system has previously been used with a CRT monitor and is
currently configured to a display mode outside the range of this monitor, you may
need to re-attach the CRT monitor temporarily until you have re-configured the
system; preferably to 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz, which is the Native Resolution Display
mode.

TCO Compliances Section
Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?
In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging the
adaptation of goods and services to the environment. With the growing manufacture and usage of
electronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the materials and
substances used by electronic products with regards to their eventual recycling and disposal. By proper
selection of these materials and substances, the impact on the environment can be minimized.
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are
important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Electronic
equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary consumption of large
amounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint of carbon emissions alone,
it is vital to save energy.
What does labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international and
environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint effort by
the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen
(The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National
Energy Administration)Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics,
emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety
Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labeled product! Your choice has
provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also
contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further
development of environmentally adapted electronics products.
4
Environmental criteria impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and
chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, and other materials. The
product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental
policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational
policy.
Energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of
inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of
time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.
Labeled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction
of electric and magnetic fields as well as physical and visual ergonomics.
Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product.
The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:
TCO Development

Current information regarding TCO’99 approved and labeled products may also be obtained via the
Internet, using the address: http://www.tcodevelopment.com/
Environmental requirements
Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their
purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer
casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chlorine,
and those flame retardants are chemically related to PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing
bromine or chlorine and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to health effects, including
reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes
when not disposed of in accordance with strict standards for disposal.
The relevant TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must
not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are
allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.
Cadmium**
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer
displays.
The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display
screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.
_______________________________________________________________________________
*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.
5
APPENDIX
Mercury**
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. The relevant TCO’99 requirement states
that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the
electrical or electronics components associated with the labeled unit. There is however one exception.
Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is
no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free
alternative is available.
CFCs (freons)
The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the
manufacture and assembly of the product or in its packaging. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for
washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the
stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light. This restriction assures that
further damage to the ozone layer form this type of equipment will be eliminated.
Lead**
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. The relevant TCO’99
requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.
