Apple Multiple Scan 720 Display - Manual (Page 6)

Positioning your Apple Multiple Scan Display
Here are some key factors to consider when determining where to place your monitor:
m Be sure that the desk or table can support the Apple Multiple Scan Display’s weight—
37.5 pounds (17 kg).
m Make sure that the monitor power cord reaches your computer. The cord should be
unobstructed when you swivel and tilt the monitor, so allow at least 6 inches (15 cm) of
clearance in the back. If you don’t allow enough clearance, the monitor connector might
be damaged when the cable hits an obstruction.
Once your monitor is in place, position it so that it faces you. Then adjust the viewing angle
of the monitor by tilting it up or down and turning it left or right on its stand.
Position the monitor so that when you use it, no bright light is behind the monitor or
reflected on the screen. Your eyes should be about level with the top edge of the screen
and between 18 and 28 inches (45 to 70 cm) away. Take occasional breaks when using your
computer, to focus your eyes on a distant object.
For your greatest comfort, use the following illustration to help you in positioning
your monitor.
