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 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
maximise visibility.

 If you use a paper holder, set it at about the same height and
distance as the computer.
