Making Your Computer Work for You Computers are everywhere. More and more people sit at computers for longer periods of time. This appendix explains how to set up your computer to fit your physical needs. This information is based on ergonomics - the science of making the workplace fit the needs of the worker. Some nerve, tendon, and muscle disorders (musculoskeletal disorders) may be associated with repetitive activities, improper work environments, and incorrect work habits.
Arrange Your Equipment Arrange your equipment so that you can work in a natural and relaxed position. Place items that you use frequently within easy reach. Adjust your workstation setup to the proper height (as described in this appendix) by lowering the table or stand that holds your computer equipment or raising the seat height of your chair. Position your notebook computer directly in front of you for increased safety and comfort. Adjust Your Chair Your chair should be adjustable and stable.
! If you use a mouse, position it at the same height as the keyboard and next to the keyboard. Keep your wrists straight and use your entire arm when moving a mouse. Do not grasp the mouse tightly. Grasp the mouse lightly and loosely. ! Adjust the keyboard height so that your elbows are near your body and your forearms are parallel to the floor, with your forearms resting on either armrests or forearm supports, in the manner described previously.
! Adjust the screen or external monitor's brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability. ! Use a document holder placed close to the screen or external monitor. ! Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head while you are typing. ! Get regular eye check-ups. Vary Your Workday If you use your computer for prolonged periods, follow these instructions. ! Vary your tasks throughout the day.
Contact a doctor if you experience pain, tenderness, swelling, burning, cramping, stiffness, throbbing, weakness, soreness, tingling and/or numbness in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, back, and/or legs. This appendix was prepared in consultation with Dr. David Rempel of the University of California/San Francisco Ergonomics Program and Mr. M.F. Schneider of HUMANTECH, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan.

C Frequently Asked Questions ! External Mouse ! Display ! PC Cards ! Diskette Drive ! Booting ! Power Management ! Miscellaneous
External Mouse How can a mouse and an external keyboard be connected to the notebook at the same time? The NEC Versa DayLite/UltraLite is equipped with two USB ports that allow you to connect any combination of two USB devices, at the same time. If you purchase a USB mouse and a USB keyboard, simply plug each device into any of the USB ports on your system. The USB ports allow you to connect up to 127 USBequipped peripheral devices per port to your NEC Versa notebook computer.
PC Cards Why do certain PC Cards cause my battery life to drop noticeably? Certain hard disk cards and wireless radio cards consume more power than others and can impact battery life. When not using any PC Card, close all applications using the card and pop it part of the way out of the slot to save power. In Setup, I disabled or reconfigured peripheral devices (like the ports or sound), yet I am unable to use the freed IRQs or I/O address resources with my PC Cards.
What happens if I leave a diskette in my diskette drive? Shutting down your system with a diskette in the diskette drive can damage the data on your diskette and your diskette drive. You should remove the diskette before powering off. How do I format a diskette? Double click on the My Computer icon and then right click (click the right-hand mouse button) on the floppy diskette drive icon. Select Format and choose the format process that best suits your needs. To format high density 1.
Booting What is the difference between a warm boot and a cold boot? A warm boot restarts the system while system power is on. A warm boot is also a software reset. A warm boot clears volatile system memory and reloads the operating system. In Windows 2000, press Ctrl, Alt, and Del twice to restart the system or go to Start, Shut Down, Restart the computer. In DOS mode, press Ctrl, Alt, and Del to warm boot the system. A cold boot is a system start with power off. A cold boot also resets the hardware.
What is the purpose of Suspend to RAM (Standby)? You can initiate full Suspend-to-RAM by accessing Start, Shut Down, Standby. This places the system in a deeper state of “sleep” and requires that you slide the Power button forward to resume operation. Putting your system into Standby initiates the Standby power-saving mode and is a convenient way of conserving energy when you are going to be away from your system for a short period of time.
What is a time-out? A time-out is the amount of time your system or a particular component is inactive. Miscellaneous How do I set the time and date? You can change the time and date in Windows 2000 as follows. ! Double click the time in the lower right corner of the screen. ! Change the date and time as needed. How do I speed up my application? If the application you are using runs really slow, close any other applications you are not using - this should speed things up.
Why do I get a message “Insufficient memory” when I run some games? I have 64 MB of memory. The “Insufficient memory” refers to the 640 kilobytes of (DOS) base memory. Since there are drivers being loaded at power on, the amount of memory can be lower than the game requires. Contact the game manufacturer and request advice to create a boot disk. This loads only the drivers necessary to run the game.
I'm having a problem using the IR port. What can I do? Use the taskbar icon to enable the IR port. Next, enter the BIOS Setup utility to verify that the IR serial port setting contains an available COM port and IRQ setting. Check that both the sending and receiving system and device are using the same transmission software. If you are transmitting underneath a fluorescent light, try repositioning the system and device so that they are not directly under the fluorescent light.
