Connecting Power Cord; Work Habits - Toshiba T2150CD Series Manual

Work Habits

A key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive strain is to vary your activities. If
possible, schedule a variety of tasks into your work day. If you must spend long periods at
the computer, finding ways to break up the routine can reduce stress and improve your
efficiency.
Sit in a relaxed posture. Good positioning of your chair and equipment as described
earlier can reduce tension in your shoulders or neck and ease back strain.
Vary your posture frequently.
Occasionally stand up and stretch or exercise briefly.
Exercise and stretch your wrists and hands a number of times during the day.
Frequently, look away from the computer and focus your eyes on a distant object for
several seconds, for example, 30 seconds every 15 minutes.
Take frequent short breaks instead of one or two long breaks, for example, two or three
minutes every half hour.
Have your eyes examined regularly and visit a doctor promptly if you suspect you might
be suffering from a repetitive strain injury.
A number of books are available on ergonomics and repetitive strain injury or repetitive stress
syndrome. For more information on these topics or for pointers on exercises for such stress
points as hands and wrists, please check with your library or book vendor.

Connecting Power Cord

T2150CD series computers are equipped with build-in converter circuits that eliminate the
need for an external AC adapter. Simply connect the supplied power cord to the computer
and a power source supplying 115 to 240 volts, when you need to charge the battery or want
to operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because the battery pack
will need to be charged before you can operate the computer from battery power.
1. Connect the power cord to the AC IN socket on the back of the computer.
