gap.bk : wic-chap.fb4 Page 51 Friday, January 15, 1999 5:03 PM 4 Working in Comfort Thank you for selecting HP computing equipment. To optimize your comfort and productivity, it is important that you set up your work area correctly and use your HP equipment properly. With that in mind, we have developed some set-up and use recommendations for you to follow based on established ergonomic principles.
gap.bk : wic-chap.fb4 Page 52 Friday, January 15, 1999 5:03 PM 4 Working in Comfort Improper and prolonged use of keyboards and input devices are among those tasks that have been associated with repetitive strain injury (RSI) to soft tissues in the hands and arms. If you experience discomfort or pain while using any computing equipment, discontinue use immediately and consult your physician as soon as possible.
gap.bk : wic-chap.fb4 Page 53 Friday, January 15, 1999 5:03 PM 4 Working in Comfort In addition, there have been reports associating the occurrence of RSI with the use of computer keyboards, mice, and other input devices. Also, certain medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, obesity and diabetes, may predispose some people to this type of injury. What can I do to avoid RSI? Some people who use computers may experience physical discomfort during their use.
gap.bk : wic-chap.fb4 Page 54 Friday, January 15, 1999 5:03 PM 4 Working in Comfort • A curved seat edge. The front of the seat should be curved and finished in a “waterfall” edge. • An adjustable back support in both height and forward and backward tilt. It is important that the backrest correctly supports the lower part, or lumbar curve, of the back. • A freely rotating swivel so you can move easily from side-to-side. • Fully adjustable and padded armrests.
gap.bk : wic-chap.fb4 Page 55 Friday, January 15, 1999 5:03 PM 4 Working in Comfort • Back - While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported by the chair's backrest in an erect position or angled slightly backwards. • Arms - Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides, with forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor. • Wrists - Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the keyboard, mouse or trackball.
gap.bk : wic-chap.fb4 Page 56 Friday, January 15, 1999 5:03 PM 4 Working in Comfort Your HP Monitor It is important that your monitor screen be clean and positioned correctly to improve readability and help you work comfortably. Glare, high contrast, reflections, dirt and dust will interfere with what you see on the screen. The recommendations that follow can help you achieve a comfortable arrangement. • The top of your monitor screen should be at or slightly below eye level.
gap.bk : wic-chap.fb4 Page 57 Friday, January 15, 1999 5:03 PM 4 Working in Comfort Monitor Use Specifications Document Holders • When viewing your monitor, your head should not be tilted more than 15 degrees forward. • You should not have to look up more than 5 degrees above horizontal or down more than 30 degrees below horizontal for normal work tasks, such as typing or reading.
gap.bk : wic-chap.fb4 Page 58 Friday, January 15, 1999 5:03 PM 4 Working in Comfort Your HP Keyboard Keyboard Slope Thigh Clearance ≥ 6 cm Keyboard Height 64-76 cm The proper positioning and use of your HP keyboard is important when using HP computing equipment. Be sure to observe the following recommendations to optimize your comfort and safety: • We recommend you place your keyboard in front of the screen or document holder, whichever is viewed the most.
gap.bk : wic-chap.fb4 Page 59 Friday, January 15, 1999 5:03 PM 4 Working in Comfort • When using your HP keyboard, remember it takes very little pressure or force from your fingers to activate the keys. Improper typing style—the use of too much force—can place unnecessary stress on the tendons and muscles in your hands, wrists, and forearms. • Make sure that your hands are in a neutral position when you use your keyboard. This means that your forearms, wrists, and hands should be in a straight line.
gap.bk : wic-chap.fb4 Page 60 Friday, January 15, 1999 5:03 PM 4 Working in Comfort WARNING FOR HEADPHONES & SPEAKERS • If you use your thumb to rotate the ball on a trackball or spaceball, keep it in a relaxed, natural shape, and maintain a neutral posture in your hand, wrist and forearm. • Hold the mouse gently by draping your fingers over it. Keep your hand relaxed and fingers loose. Do not grip the mouse tightly.
gap.bk : wic-chap.fb4 Page 61 Friday, January 15, 1999 5:03 PM 4 Working in Comfort Comfort and Safety Checklist These recommendations are drawn from the latest available international ergonomic standards and recommendations, including ISO 9241 and ANSI/HFS 100-1988. Document Holder Keyboard Slope Thigh Clearance ≥6 cm General Keyboard Height 64-76 cm • Work Surface Height - Adjust either your seat height, work surface or both, to position the work surface at approximately elbow height.
gap.bk : wic-chap.fb4 Page 62 Friday, January 15, 1999 5:03 PM 4 Working in Comfort • Legs - Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward. Your lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Make sure there is sufficient room under the work surface for your legs.
