Connecting Signal Cable · Plug the data cable into the matching VGA connections on the computer and the monitor. If your PC also has a DVI output, you can connect your monitor by means of the DVI-D connector. Connecting Audio Cable · Plug the audio cable into the matching sockets on the computer and the TFT monitor. Connecting the Power Supply · Plug the power supply cable into the power supply socket of the TFT screen and plug the electric plug into a socket close to the TFT screen (same circuit). · Your TFT monitor has an ON/OFF switch, by means of which you can switch the monitor on or off, on the back. If the switch is set to 0, then no power is consumed. Set the switch to I and next switch your monitor on using the on/off switch. Then switch on your computer. 8 ENGLISH Positioning of the Monitor Please ensure that the monitor is set up in such a way that that reflections, glare and light-dark contrast are avoided (as this will make the screen less attractive to look at). (Ill. : Monitor positioning) Your posture Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it's important that you maintain proper posture. Back - While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported by the chair's backrest in an erect position or angled slightly backwards. Arms - Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides, with forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor. Wrists - Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the keyboard, mouse or trackball. They should not be bent sideways, or more than 10 degrees up or down. Head - Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. [. . . ] Because of this very high number of transistors and their extremely complex production process occasionally defective or incorrectly addressed pixels or sub-pixels may occur. There have been several attempts in the past to define the acceptable number of defective pixels. But this can be difficult and varies widely between different manufacturers. MEDION, therefore, adheres to the clear and strict requirements of ISO 13406-2, class II, for the warranty handling of all TFT display products. [. . . ]
