Creating a Comfortable Working Environment
The following tips can help minimize eye strain and body fatigue when using your notebook
computer:
• Adjust your chair so that:
− Your feet are flat on the floor–use a footrest if needed.
− Your legs form a right angle to the floor.
− The backs of your knees are free from the chair seat.
− Your body weight rests on your spine, while supporting the lower back region.
• Adjust your notebook computer so that:
− Your wrists are straight and supported.
− Keyboard and touch pad or external keyboard and mouse are at elbow height.
− Your elbows are close to your sides with your upper arms perpendicular to the
floor.
− You maintain a neutral neck posture with the top of the display no higher than eye
level.
• Adjust your display and lighting so that:
− Light is directed away from the screen to reduce glare. Look away to distant
objects frequently. Use the tilt and swivel capabilities of your LCD or external
monitor to place it in the most comfortable position.
− The screen is the correct distance for your vision.
