Getting Started
Selecting a place to work
❖
Adjust the back of your chair so that it supports the lower
curve of your spine. If necessary, use a cushion to provide
extra back support. Lower-back-support cushions are
available at many office supply stores.
❖
Sit with your back straight so that your knees, hips, and
elbows form approximately 90-degree angles when you work.
Do not slump forward or lean back too far.
Lighting
Proper lighting can improve the visibility of the display and reduce
eyestrain.
❖
Position the display panel or external monitor so that sunlight
or bright indoor lighting does not reflect off the screen. Use
tinted windows or shades to reduce glare.
❖
Avoid placing your computer in front of a bright light that
could shine directly in your eyes.
❖
If possible, use soft, indirect lighting in your computer work
area.
Arms and wrists
❖
Avoid bending, arching, or twisting your wrists. Keep them in
a relaxed, neutral position while typing.
❖
Exercise your hands, wrists, and arms to improve circulation.
WARNING: Using the computer keyboard incorrectly may
result in discomfort and possible injury. If your hands,
wrists, and/or arms bother you while typing, stop using the
computer and rest. If the discomfort persists, consult a
physician.
