Ergonomics information

This

is important information you should

read before using your port

able ThinkPad computer in your "virtual office".

 

 

 

 

 

 

Working

 

in the virtual office may mean

adapting

 

to

frequent

changes

in your

environment.

Following some

simple

"rules of the road" will

make

things easier and bring you the

maximum

of your

ThinkPad

 

computer. Keeping in mind such

basics

as

good

lighting

and

proper seating, for example, can

go a long way in helping you

enhance

 

your performance

and

What

if

I

am

traveling?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It

may

not

be

possible

to

observe the

best

ergonomic

practices

you

are using the ThinkPad computer while on the

move

or

in

a

"casual" setting. Regardless of the setting,

try

to observe

as many

the

tips for proper usage as possible. Sitting

properly

and

using

quate

lighting,

for

example,

will

help

you

maintain
