Tips and information for comfortable use
Computer users may complain of eyestrain and headaches after prolonged use.
Users are also at risk of physical injury after long hours of working in front
of a computer. Long work periods, bad posture, poor work habits, stress,
inadequate working conditions, personal health and other factors greatly
increase the risk of physical injury.
Incorrect computer usage may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis,
tenosynovitis or other musculoskeletal disorders. The following symptoms may
appear in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck or back:
- numbness, or a burning or tingling sensation
- aching, soreness or tenderness
- pain, swelling or throbbing
- stiffness or tightness
- coldness or weakness
If you have these symptoms, or any other recurring or persistent discomfort
and/or pain related to computer use, consult a physician immediately and
inform your company’s health and safety department.
The following section provides tips for more comfortable computer use.
Finding your comfort zone
Find your comfort zone by adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor, using a footrest, or raising your sitting height to achieve maximum comfort. Observe the following tips:
- 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.
- Perform some stretching exercises.
- Breathe fresh air as often as possible.
- Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy body.

ENERGY STAR®
Acer’s ENERGY STAR qualified products save you money by reducing energy costs
and helps protect the environment without sacrificing features or performance.
Acer is proud to offer our customers products with the ENERGY STAR mark.
What is ENERGY STAR?
Products that are ENERGY STAR are qualified to use less energy and prevent
greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Acer is committed to offering
products and services worldwide that help customers save money, conserve
energy and improve the quality of our environment. The more energy we can save
through energy efficiency, the more we reduce greenhouse gases and the risks
of climate change. More information refers to
http://www.energystar.gov.
Acer ENERGY STAR qualified products:
- Produce less heat and reduce cooling loads and warmer climates.
- Automatically go into “display sleep” within 5 minutes of inactivity.
- Wake the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any keyboard key.
ENERGY STAR and the ENERGY STAR mark are registered U.S. marks
Note: This product qualifies for ENERGY STAR in the factory default settings which can be restored by the “Factory Reset” function in the OSD menu. Changing the factory default settings or enabling other features may increase power consumption that could exceed the ENERGY STAR specified limit.
Unpacking
Please check that the following items are present when you unpack the box, and save the packing materials in case you need to ship or transport the monitor in the future.
SCREEN POSITION ADJUSTMENT
In order to optimize the best viewing position, you can adjust the tilt of the
monitor.
Attaching the Base
Note: Remove the monitor and monitor base from its packaging. Carefully place the monitor face-down on a stable surface — use a cloth to avoid scratching the screen.
Tilt
Please see the illustration below for an example of the tilt range.
Only at the highest point can 25 degrees of recline be offered for the angle
of elevation.
- Height Adjustment
After pressing the top of the monitor then you can adjust the height of the monitor.
- Swivel
With the built-in pedestal, you can swivel the monitor for the most comfortable viewing angle.
- Monitor Pivot
Before rotating the display,lift it to the top position and then push it back to the utmost degree. Rotate clockwise until the monitor stops at 90°.
Connecting the adapter and AC Power cord
-
Check first to make sure that the power cord you use is the correct type required for your area.
-
The monitor has a universal power supply that allows operation in either 100/120 V AC or 220/240 V AC voltage areas. No user adjustment is required.
-
Plug one end of the AC power cord to the Adapter and plug the other end into an AC outlet.
-
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 an 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 monitor will be driven into “Power Saving” mode by the control signal from the display controller, as indicated by the amber-color power LED.
State | LED Light |
---|---|
ON | Blue |
Power Saving Mode | Amber |
The power-saving states will be kept until a control signal has been detected or the keyboard or mouse is activated. The recovery time from Active OFF state back to ON state 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.
