1.2 Tips for Safe Operation
The VisionPlate is designed for the mobile user's needs. It is compact, lightweight, and extremely
portable. Because the VisionPlate is intended for frequent use in the field, it is conceivable that
the unit might be used in an environment where lighting conditions are poor, viewing angles and
distances from the screen are inconvenient, where seating conditions may adversely affect arm
and wrist positions, and where adequate neck and back support is lacking.
Some studies suggest that prolonged periods of tapping, typing, improper workstation setup,
incorrect work habits, personal health problems, and other factors might be linked to injuries such
as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and eyestrain.
Warning signs of these conditions include:
• Aching, soreness, burning sensations, throbbing, tingling, or numbness in the hands, wrists,
arms, or neck.
• Blurred vision or persistant headaches.
