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.
❑ Make sure there is adequate space around the computer for proper ventilation.
❑ Make sure the AC power cord connects to an outlet that is close to the
computer and easily accessible.
❑ The temperature should be 5 to 35 degrees Centigrade (41 to 95 degrees
Fahrenheit) and the relative humidity should be 20 to 80 percent.
❑ Avoid areas where rapid or extreme changes in temperature or humidity may
occur.
❑ Keep the computer free of dust, moisture, and exposure to direct sunlight.
❑ Keep the computer away from heat sources, such as electric heaters.
❑ Do not use the computer near liquids or corrosive chemicals.
❑ Do not place the computer near objects that create strong magnetic fields
(e.g., stereo speakers).
❑ Do not operate the computer in close proximity to a mobile phone.
❑ Leave ample ventilation room for the fan. Do not block the vents.
Placement of the computer
Position the computer and peripheral devices to provide comfort and safety.
❑ Set the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable height and distance. The
display should be no higher than eye level to avoid eye strain.
❑ Place the computer so that it is directly in front of you when you work and
make sure you have adequate space to easily operate other devices.
❑ Allow adequate space behind the computer to let you freely adjust the
display. The display should be angled to reduce glare and maximize
visibility.
❑ If you use a paper holder, set it at about the same height and distance as the
computer.
