Getting Started
Selecting a place to work
❖
Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field,
such as large stereo speakers (other than speakers that are
connected to the computer) 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. Operate the computer
within a temperature range of 41 degrees to 95 degrees
Fahrenheit (5 degrees to 35 degrees Celsius) and 20
percent to 80 percent non-condensing humidity.
Keeping yourself comfortable
Strain and stress injuries are becoming more common as
people spend more time using their computers. However,
with a little care and proper use of the equipment, you can
work comfortably throughout the day.
This section provides hints on avoiding strain and stress
injuries. For more information, consult books on ergonomics,
repetitive-strain injury, and repetitive-stress syndrome.
If you spill liquid into the computer, turn it off, unplug it from
the AC power source and let it dry out completely before
turning it on again.
If the computer does not operate correctly after you turn it back
on, contact your network administrator. If your computer still
does not operate, refer to
page 203
for additional technical assistance.
Using the computer keyboard incorrectly can result in
discomfort and possible injury. If your hands, wrists, and/or
arms hurt while typing, stop using the computer and rest. If the
discomfort persists, consult a physician.
