Workplace preparation

Positioning the monitor

Choose a suitable place to position the monitor where it is not near fluorescent desk lighting

or any equipment that produces magnetic fields that could cause interference. Ensure that the

furniture or equipment can support the weight of the monitor. Allow at least 2 inches (50mm)

ventilation space around the monitor.
