following to make sure your work site provides a proper environment.
■
Make sure there is adequate space around the computer for proper
ventilation.
■
Make sure the AC power cord connects to an outlet that is close to
the computer and easily accessible.
■
The temperature should be 5 to 35 degrees Centigrade (41 to
95 degrees Fahrenheit) and the relative humidity should be
20 to 80 percent.
■
Avoid areas where rapid or extreme changes in temperature or
humidity may occur.

Keep the computer free of dust, moisture, and exposure to direct
sunlight.

Do not place the computer near objects that create strong magnetic
fields (e.g., stereo speakers).

Position the computer and peripheral devices to provide comfort and
safety.
■
Set the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable height and distance.

and make sure you have adequate space to easily operate other
devices.

display. The display should be angled to reduce glare and maximise
visibility.
