CHAPTER 2: Setting Up and Getting Started
Position the computer desk and computer so you can
avoid bright reflections and glare. Reduce glare by
installing shades or curtains on windows, and by
installing a glare screen filter.
Use soft, indirect lighting in your work area. Do not use
your computer in a dark room.
Set paper holders at the same height and distance as the
display.
Avoid focusing your eyes on your display for long
periods of time. Every 10 or 15 minutes, look around the
room, and try to focus on distant objects.
Stand up your computer so the slide-out support stand
extends out the back for stability. Your computer is
stable through a 10° range of motion, from nearly
upright (leaning back 5°) to noticeably tilted (leaning
back 15°).
The support stand helps maintain the viewing angle that
you set. As you push the top of the screen back or pull
it forward, the stand automatically adjusts to maintain
that angle.
