Working in Comfort with Your HP
Pavilion PC
Thank you for selecting HP computing equipment.
To optimize your comfort and productivity, it is
important that you set up your work area correctly
and use your HP equipment properly. With that in
mind, we have developed some setup and use
recommendations for you to follow, based on
established ergonomic principles.
Improper and prolonged use of keyboards and input
devices are among those tasks that have been
associated with repetitive strain injury (RSI) to soft
tissues in the hands and arms. If you experience
discomfort or pain while using any computing
equipment, discontinue use immediately and consult
your physician as soon as possible. For more
information on RSI, you may wish to consult “About
Repetitive Strain Injury” on page 4.
Please study the recommendations offered here and
consult the “Information Sources” listed on page 24.
Included there are references to relevant parts of
international standards, regulations, and guidelines,
such as ISO 9241 and the European Community
Display Screen Equipment directive. You may also
wish to consult your employer’s human resources
department or other relevant departments for
guidance specific to your company. For a quick
summary of the recommendations, refer to the
“Comfort and Safety Checklist” on page 21.
Note that the recommendations and quoted
dimensions in this guide are designed to
accommodate a broad range of people. If you fall
outside this range, you may need to adapt the
recommendations accordingly. For example, if you
are very tall, your work surface may need to be
higher than indicated in this guide.
