Working practices

i This section gives advice on how you can work

comfortably and reduce fatigue.

Rest

Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally as prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.

Back

Sit back in your chair and use the backrest.

Hands

Adjust the seat height so that your forearms are approximately horizontal and your wrists are straight when using the keyboard. Your upper arms should be relaxed with your elbows near your body.

Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and fingers relaxed.

Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists when not typing.

Consider using a wristpad.

Eyesight

Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close work, can be visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have your eyesight checked regularly.

Screen settings

Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. You may have to adjust these settings as the lighting changes during the day. Many application programs let you select color combinations which can help you to view in comfort. See the User controls section on page 18 for more information.

Caring for your monitor

Be sure to disconnect the power cord from your monitor before you perform any maintenance on the monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:

• Gently wipe the covers and the screen with a soft cloth, do not use solvents or abrasives.

• Never drop water or other liquid into your monitor.

• Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

• Never use flammable cleaning materials to clean your ThinkVision monitor or any other electrical apparatus.

• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasives items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched screen panel.

	•	Do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar
		additive as this may scratch the screen's coating.
	•	Never apply detergent or other liquid directly to the screen. Dampen the
8		cloth and then wipe.
