Attaching the Tilt and Swivel Base

Before you attach the tilt and swivel base, cover your work area with a blanket or foam pad to avoid scratching the monitor during assembly. Then follow these steps:

1.

Carefully set the monitor face down on the padding so the bottom of the monitor is facing you, as shown below.

Hold the base so that the hooks are pointed down. Then position the base next to the bottom of the monitor, as shown below.

4.

Insert the hooks on the base into the slots on the monitor.

5.

Slide the base down toward the front of the monitor until the latch clicks into the locked position. Then turn the monitor upright so it rests on its base.

Note

Always remove the tilt and swivel base before packing and transporting the monitor. To remove the base, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect the cables from the back of the monitor. Carefully set the monitor face down on a padded surface. While pressing the release tab on the bottom of the monitor, remove the base by lifting the hooks out of the slots.

Selecting a Location for the Monitor

Follow these guidelines when you select a location for the monitor:

Follow the safety instructions listed at the beginning of this manual.

Use a large, sturdy desk that can support the weight of your computer, monitor, and peripheral devices and provides ample space to hold your equipment and work materials.

For your comfort, it is best to place the monitor directly in front of you and sit about an arm’s length away from it.

To minimize glare and reduce eye fatigue, position the monitor so that sunlight, desk lamps, or overhead lights do not shine directly on the screen.

For comfortable viewing, the top of the screen should be slightly below eye level when you are sitting in front of the monitor. Your line of sight to the screen should be about 10° to

20° below eye level.

Connecting the Monitor to Your Computer

Before you connect the monitor to your computer, make sure your computer and video adapter are set up to use with the monitor. If necessary, install an appropriate video adapter card in your computer and set any DIP switches or jumpers on the card to support the monitor. You may also need to change jumper settings inside the computer. See your computer or video adapter card manual for instructions.

Follow these steps to connect the monitor to your computer:

1.

Before you connect any cables, make sure the monitor, computer, and all other peripheral devices are turned off.
