Using the OmniBook Keyboard

WARNING

Improper use of keyboards and other input devices has been associated with

 

ergonomic injury. For information about reducing your risk, see Working in

 

Comfort in the online OmniBook Library, or visit our ergonomics website,

 

http://www.hp.com/ergo.

 

If you are using your portable computer as your primary computer, or using it for

 

extended periods, you should use it with a full-size keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

 

This can reduce the risk of ergonomic injury. See Working in Comfort in the online

 

OmniBook Library.
