8 - Information for your safety and comfort

Tips and information for comfortable use

Computer users may complain of eyestrain and headaches after

prolonged use. Users are also at risk of physical injury after long

hours of working in front of a computer. Long work periods, bad

posture, poor work habits, stress, inadequate working conditions,

personal health, and other factors greatly increase the risk of physical

injury.

Incorrect computer usage may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome,

tendonitis, tenosynovitis or other musculoskeletal disorders. The

following symptoms may appear in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders,

neck or back:

• numbness, or a burning or tingling sensation

• aching, soreness or tenderness

• pain, swelling or throbbing

• stiffness or tightness

• coldness or weakness

If you have these symptoms, or any other recurring or persistent

discomfort and/or pain related to computer use, consult a physician

immediately and inform your company's health and safety

department.

The following section provides tips for more comfortable computer

use.

Finding your comfort zone

Find your comfort zone by adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor,

using a footrest or raising your sitting height to achieve maximum

comfort. Observe the following tips:

• refrain from staying too long in one fixed posture

• avoid slouching forward and/or leaning backward

• stand up and walk around regularly to remove the strain on your leg

muscles

• take short rests to relax your neck and shoulders

• avoid tensing your muscles or shrugging your shoulders

Information for your safety and comfort - 9

• install the external display, keyboard and mouse properly and within

comfortable reach

• if you view your monitor more than your documents, place the

display at the center of your desk to minimize neck strain

Taking care of your vision

Long viewing hours, wearing incorrect glasses or contact lenses,

glare, excessive room lighting, poorly focused screens, very small

typefaces and low-contrast displays could stress your eyes. The

following sections provide suggestions on how to reduce eyestrain.

Eyes

• Rest your eyes frequently.

• Give your eyes regular breaks by looking away from the monitor and

focusing on a distant point.

• Blink frequently to keep your eyes from drying out.

Display

• Keep your display clean.

• Keep your head at a higher level than the top edge of the display so

your eyes point downward when looking at the middle of the display.

• Adjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level

for enhanced text readability and graphics clarity.

• Eliminate glare and reflections by:

• placing your display in such a way that the side faces the windows

or any light source

• minimizing room light by using drapes, shades or blinds

• using a task light

• changing the display’s viewing angle

• using a glare-reduction filter

• using a display visor, such as a piece of cardboard extended from

the display’s top front edge.

• Avoid adjusting your display to an awkward viewing angle.

• Avoid looking at bright light sources, such as open windows, for

extended periods of time.

10 - Information for your safety and comfort

Developing good work habits

Develop the following work habits to make your computer use more

relaxing and productive:

• Take short breaks regularly and often.

• Perform some stretching exercises.

• Breathe fresh air as often as possible.

• Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy body.

Protecting your hearing

To protect your hearing, follow these instructions.

• Increase the volume gradually until you can hear clearly and

comfortably.

• Do not increase the volume level after your ears have adjusted.

• Do not listen to music at high volumes for extended periods.

• Do not increase the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

• Decrease the volume if you can't hear people speaking near you.

Warning

We do not recommend using the computer on a couch or bed. If this is

unavoidable, work for only short periods, take breaks regularly, and do

some stretching exercises.

Warning

Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones

are used at high volume for prolonged periods of time.
