Seating And Posture - Toshiba Satellite M30-SP350 User Manual

Seating and posture

The height of your chair in relation to the computer and keyboard as well
as the support it gives your body are primary factors in reducing work
strain. Refer to the following tips.
■
Place your chair so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the level
of your elbow. You should be able to type comfortably with your
shoulders relaxed.
■
Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. If necessary, use
a foot rest (see "1" in the illustration) to raise the level of your knees to
ease pressure on the back of your thighs.
■
Adjust the back of your chair so it supports the lower curve of your
spine.
■
Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately
90 degree angles when you work. Do not slump forward or lean back
too far.
