Arms and wrists
❖
Avoid bending, arching, or twisting your wrists. Keep
them in a relaxed, neutral position while typing.
❖
Exercise your hands, wrists and arms to improve
circulation.
Work habits
The key to avoiding discomfort or injury from strain is to
vary your activities. If possible, schedule a variety of tasks
into your working day. Finding ways to break up the routine
can reduce stress and improve your efficiency.
❖
Take frequent, short breaks to change position, stretch
your muscles, and relieve your eyes. A break of two or
three minutes every half hour is more effective than a
long break after several hours.
❖
Avoid performing repetitive activities for long periods.
Intersperse such activities with other tasks.
❖
Focusing your eyes on your computer screen for long
periods can cause eyestrain. Look away from the
computer frequently and focus your eyes on a distant
object for at least 30 seconds.
Your LCD display has a brightness approaching that of a TV
device. We recommend that you adjust the brightness of your
LCD to a comfortable level to prevent possible strain on your
eyes.
