Unpacking
Before you unpack your New Planar LCD Monitor, prepare a suitable workspace for your New Planar LCD Monitor and
computer. You need a stable, level and clean surface near a wall outlet. Even though your New Planar LCD Monitor
uses very little power, you should put it in a location that allows sufficient airflow to ensure that your New Planar LCD
Monitor and your computer do not become too hot. Set up your New Planar LCD Monitor so that the panel does not face
a window where sunlight often comes in. The glare caused by sunlight reflecting off your New Planar LCD Monitor’s
screen will make it difficult to see.

Using a computer for an extended period of time with a poor workstation set-up and incorrect working
habits can cause health problems. The science of ergonomics studies the relationship between health
and a suitable working environment. There is a section on ergonomics at the end of this chapter. For
more information on ergonomics, contact your nearest computer bookstore, or local library. The Internet
also has information on this and other subjects.
