Health Warning - Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 1000 Getting Started Manual

HEALTH WARNING

Use of a keyboard or mouse may be linked to serious injuries or disorders.
When using a computer, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort
in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience
symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness,
burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A
QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not working at your
computer. Symptoms like these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently
disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body. These
musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and
other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general
agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including: overall health, stress
and how one copes with it, medical and physical conditions, and how a person positions and
uses his or her body during work and other activities (including use of a keyboard or mouse). The
amount of time a person performs an activity may also be a factor.
Some guidelines that may help you work more comfortably with your computer and possibly
reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD can be found in the "Healthy Computing Guide" installed
with this device's software. If this device did not come with software, see the "Healthy Computing
Guide" section of the "Getting Started" manual. You can also access the "Healthy Computing
Guide" at www.microsoft.com/hardware or (in the United States only) by calling 1 (800) 360 7561
to request a CD at no charge.
If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may
be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional.
