Notes on Use

You will be using your notebook computer as a portable device in a variety of environments. Whenever possible, you should apply the following ergonomic considerations to both stationary and portable environments.

Ergonomic Guidelines

Position of your notebook — Place the notebook directly in front of you as you work. Keep your forearms horizontal, with your wrists in a neutral, comfortable position while using the keyboard, touchpad, or external mouse. Let your upper arms hang naturally at your sides. Take breaks during sessions with your notebook. Excessive use of the notebook may strain muscles or tendons.

Furniture and posture — Sit in a chair with good back support and armrests. 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 far backward.

Viewing angle of the notebook’s display — Use the display’s tilting feature to find the best position. You can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue by adjusting the tilt of the display to the proper position. You can adjust the brightness setting of the display also.
