4.1.3 Wireless keyboard

If your PC comes with a wireless keyboard, usually in combination with a wireless mouse, please refer to the special instructions in the accompanying manual.

Using the keyboard

The keyboard is configured for ergonomic and healthy working. Awkward configuration of the input and output devices, incorrect arm or seat posture and uninterrupted use of the keyboard or mouse may lead to tension, tiredness and injury to the musculo- skeletal system (nerves, muscles, tendons and joints). This risks can be considerably reduced if you follow the advice below.

Arrange your workstation in accordance with the recommendations for an ergonomic workstation in the PC’s operating instructions.

Position the keyboard such that it can be operated without noticeable burden. The keyboard should be arranged in parallel to your upper body. This position facilitates a relaxed shoulder and arm position.

The distance between the keyboard and edge of the desk should be between 5 and 10 cm.

While typing, hold your hands and lower arms such that they form the most natural line possible. Do not bend your hands too much to

the side.

Keep your wrists straight while typing. Do not bend your hands up or down. Adjust the tilt of the keyboard to meet your individual

needs using the fold-out support on its base.

While typing do not support your hands on the balls of your thumbs and do not hit the keys too hard.

Relax your hands and wrists by taking regular breaks. During these typing breaks you should support your hands on the balls of your thumbs or rest your lower arms on the armrests. If necessary, perform appropriate loosening exercises.
