Asus MA356*/A manual Forearms and hands in a straight line

åPosition the mouse at the same height as your keyboard. Allow adequate space to use the mouse comfortably.

åArrange the display so that the top of the screen is slightly below eye level when youÕre sitting at the keyboard. The best distance from your eyes to the screen is up to you, although most people seem to prefer 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm).

åPosition the display to minimize glare and reflections on the screen from overhead lights and nearby windows. If possible, use a tiltable display stand. The stand lets you set the display at the best angle for viewing, helping to reduce or eliminate glare from lighting sources you canÕt move.
