Caring for your Monitor
6
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 wrist pad.
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.
