Ergonomic considerations

Whenever possible, try and take into account the following ergonomic considerations when using your new computer, whether at

home or in the office:

User Guide

❑Position of the keyboard and mouse – Place the keyboard directly in front of you (1). Keep your forearms horizontal, with your

wrists in a neutral, comfortable position (2) while using the keyboard or mouse – not at an angle. Let your upper arms hang

naturally at your sides. Use the palm rest only briefly, to relax your wrists when you are not typing. Place the mouse at the same

level as the keyboard and use your whole arm to move it.

❑Position and viewing angle of the monitor – Set the display at a comfortable viewing distance (3). Make sure the display screen

is at eye level or slightly lower. Use the display’s tilting feature, if available, to find the best position. You can reduce eye-strain

and muscle-fatigue by adjusting the tilt of the display to the proper position. Remember to adjust the brightness setting of the

display. If you are using a CRT monitor, make sure that the refresh rate is at an optimal level, that is, at least 75Hz.

❑Furniture and posture – Sit in a chair with good back support (4). Adjust the level of the chair so your feet are flat on the floor.

A footrest may make you more comfortable. Sit in a relaxed, upright posture and avoid slouching forward or leaning too far

backwards.

❑Lighting – Choose a location where windows and lights do not create glare or reflection on the display. Use indirect lighting to

avoid bright spots reflecting on the display. You can also purchase accessories for your display that help reduce glare. Proper

lighting adds to your comfort and work effectiveness.

❑Ventilation – Make sure you leave at least 25 cm of space behind and on the left and the right of the main unit (5).

❑And finally – Remember to have breaks during sessions with your computer. Excessive use of the computer may strain muscles

or tendons.
