Ergonomics 

 

• The top third of the eBook screen should be at eye-level or slightly below. 
• The LCD should be at least 18"/45cm. directly in front of you. 
• Angle the LCD so that it doesn’t reflect any light into your eyes. 
• Use a chair which offers good back support (especially lower-back). The seat 
should allow your feet to rest flat on the floor or on a footrest directly in front of 
you. 
• If possible, illuminate your work area with natural daylight or use a 
steady-glowing (non-flickering) light source. 
• Take a break from reading to avoid eye strain. Get up, stretch, flex your 
wrists, walk about, and look at something else for about 10 minutes every 
hour. 
 

Servicing

 

 
Do not attempt to service the eBook yourself. Doing so may violate your 
warranty and expose you and the eBook to electric shock. Refer all servicing 
to authorised service personnel. 
 

Cleaning 

Before cleaning, please power off and disconnect cables from system and AC 
outlet. After finish of cleaning, please make sure that the monitor is completely 
dry before you reconnect cables and power it on. Please do not use any liquid 
or spray cleaners directly on surface of screen or case. Please use a soft, 
clean, lint-free cloth with cleaners to clear your monitor. 

Screen 

  Please use a soft, clean, lint-free cloth to remove dust and dirt from the 

screen. For fingerprints & smudges, please use a soft cloth with 
cleaners. 

Case 

  Please clean the case with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild 

detergent solution. Please rinse the cloth with clear water, wring it dry, 
and wipe the case to remove any detergent residue.
