Working in Comfort

Setting Up Your HP Computing Equipment

 Position your notebook computer display to minimize glare and

reflection. For example, on an airplane, lower the window shade, or

in a hotel room, draw the curtains. You also should maintain a com-

fortable viewing distanceapproximately 40 to 60 cm (16 to 24

inches). Adjust the angle of your display to help keep your head

angled slightly downward in a comfortable position.

Using Your Mobile

Computer

 Position the computer so your wrists and hands are in a neutral posi-

tion. Your wrists should be as straight as possible and should not

have to bend sideways or more than 10 degrees up or down. If your

notebook computer does not have a built-in palm rest, you can use a

rolled-up towel.

 Try to type as lightly as possible. The notebook keyboard requires

little force to activate.

 Take frequent, short rest breaksthis is especially important in a

mobile computing environment.

 Portable computers weigh between approximately 1.4 and 3.7 kilos

(3 and 8 pounds). When traveling, be sure to carry your computer

properly to minimize strain on your body. Shift the bag containing

your notebook equipment frequently between your left and right

hands and shoulders.
