This guide, which is included with the computer, explains product liability.
Getting Started General conditions In general, if you are comfortable, so is your computer, but read the following to make sure your work site provides a proper environment. ■ Select a work area that has: ■ a well-designed and functioning ventilation system that does not forcefully direct air on you ■ good air circulation ■ a comfortable ambient temperature and relative humidity.
Getting Started ■ Leave ample ventilation room for the fan. Do not block the vents. ■ If the PC interferes with radio equipment, turn the PC power off immediately. Such interference could cause equipment malfunction. ■ Never place your PC on a shaky table, uneven, tilted surface or other unstable location. Your PC may fall, causing damage to the PC or possibly injury. ■ Never leave the power to your PC on continuously for more than 24 hours. Turn the power off when this product is not in use.
Getting Started Seating and posture Maintain a comfortable working posture when using your PC where your body joints are naturally aligned to reduce stress on different parts of your body. Consider the following: Below eye level 90°angles Foot rest Posture and positioning of the computer ■ Keep hands, wrists, and forearms straight, in-line and roughly parallel to the floor. ■ Keep head level, or bent slightly forward, forward facing, and balanced. Generally the head is in-line with the torso.
Getting Started ■ Position the PC so that the light source does not shine or reflect directly onto the display or shine or reflect directly into the eyes of the user. ■ Shield the PC from direct light by using tinted windows or by installing blinds or a screen. ■ Use soft, indirect lighting. ■ Adjust the display panel to provide maximum visibility. Work habits A key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive strain is to vary your activities.
Getting Started ■ Never turn off the power, disconnect an external storage device or remove storage media during data read/write. Doing so can cause data loss. ■ Never format storage media without checking its content.
