Setting up a work environment

Place the device on a hard flat surface that is large enough
for the device and any other items you are using, such as a
printer. Leave enough space around the device and other
equipment to provide adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they
may overheat.
To keep your device in prime operating condition, protect
your work area from:
❖
Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.
❖
Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field,
such as stereo speakers (other than speakers that are
connected to the device) or speakerphones.
❖
Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources
of temperature change such as air conditioner vents or
heaters.
❖
Extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
❖
Liquids and corrosive chemicals.

Keeping yourself comfortable

This section provides information for setting up your work
environment and tips for working comfortably throughout the
day.

Device user comfort recommendations

Good Working Posture

❖
Adjust your chair height: your feet should be flat on the
floor and the bottom of your thighs should be evenly
supported by the seat. If your feet cannot reach the floor,
use a foot rest. Avoid pressure points behind the knee or
under the thigh.
❖
The space under your desk should be free of clutter so
that your legs and feet are not restricted, and you can
get close enough to your notebook and other items that
you use frequently.
❖
Adjust the chair back rest: it should match the curve of
your back and provide comfortable back support.
