  • refrain from staying too long in one fixed posture
  • avoid slouching forward and/or leaning backward
  • stand up and walk around regularly to remove the strain on your leg muscles

Taking care of your vision
Long viewing hours, wearing incorrect glasses or contact lenses, glare, excessive room lighting, poorly focused screens, very small typefaces and low- contrast displays could stress your eyes. The following sections provide suggestions on how to reduce eyestrain.
Eyes

  • Rest your eyes frequently.
  • Give your eyes regular breaks by looking away from the monitor and focusing on a distant point.
  • Blink frequently to keep your eyes from drying out.

Display

  • Keep your display clean.
  • Keep your head at a higher level than the top edge of the display so your eyes point downward when looking at the middle of the display.
  • Adjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level for enhanced text readability and graphics clarity.
  • Eliminate glare and reflections by:
    • placing your display in such a way that the side faces the window or any light source
    • minimizing room light by using drapes, shades or blinds
    • using a task light
    • changing the display’s viewing angle
    • using a glare-reduction filter
    • using a display visor, such as a piece of cardboard extended from the display’s top front edge
  • Avoid adjusting your display to an awkward viewing angle.
  • Avoid looking at bright light sources, such as open windows, for extended periods of time.

Developing good work habits
Develop the following work habits to make your computer use more relaxing and productive:

  • Take short breaks regularly and often.

  • For units using 120 V AC:
    Use a UL-listed cord set, type SVT wire and plug rated 10 A/125 V.

  • For units using 220/240 V AC:
    Use a cord set consisting of H05VV-F cord and plug rated 10 A/250 V. The cord
    set should have the appropriate safety approvals for the country in which the equipment will be installed.

Power saving

The power saving mode will be kept until a control signal has been detected or the keyboard or mouse is activated. The recovery time from “power saving” mode back to “on” is around 3 seconds.

Display Data Channel (DDC)

To make installation easier, so long as your system supports the DDC protocol, the monitor is able to plug-and-play. The DDC is a communication protocol through which the monitor automatically informs the host system about its capabilities; for example, supported resolutions and corresponding timing. The monitor supports the DDC2B standard.
