• Adjust your chair height in such a way that you can sit on it with your thighs
parallel to the floor and your feet resting flat on the floor.
• Rest your body on the chair back. Your torso works harder to maintain
balance if you do not rest your body on the chair back.

Positioning your keyboard

The location of the keyboard is a very important factor to your posture. Placing it
too far will make your body lean forward forcing you to sit in an unnatural
position. Placing it too high will add tension to your shoulder muscles.
• The keyboard should be placed just above your lap. Adjust the keyboard
height by flipping the folding stands located under the keyboard.
• Keep your lower arms parallel to the floor as you type. Your upper arms and
shoulders should be relaxed. Then try typing with a light touch. If you feel
any shoulder or neck strain, stop for a while and check your posture.
• Position your keyboard in front of your monitor. Putting your keyboard
beside your monitor will make you turn your head while you type which
could add tension to your neck muscles that may later result in neck strain.

Positioning your mouse

• The mouse should be placed on the same surface as your keyboard so that you
can reach it with ease.
• Adjust its position to allow enough space for movement without making you
stretch or lean over.
• Use your arm to move the mouse. Do not rest your wrist on the table when
moving the mouse.

Positioning your Veriton FP

Place the Veriton FP at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 50 to 60
centimeters away. Adjust the display in such a way that the top of the screen is at
or slightly below eye level.
