③ If the value indicates more than 1500 lux, turn switch to
“×10” POSITION. Correct value become 10 times of the
indicator value.

Suitable size for student’s sitting height
not too low, not to high, not uneasey
 Flat surface
Good Sitting Position




Maintains good eyesight
Prevents fatigue
Makes good efficiency of learning
Standard size is calculate using stature


Desk height(cm)= 6/15*stature(cm)+4
Chair height(cm)= 4/15*stature(cm)-2
Optimal height of desk and chair
