This guide, which is included with the computer, explains product liability.
Getting Started Setting up your work space Establishing a comfortable work site is important for you and your computer. A poor work environment or stressful work habits can result in discomfort or serious injury from repetitive strain to your hands, wrists or other joints. Proper ambient conditions should also be maintained for the computer’s operation.
Getting Started Placement of computer Position the computer and peripheral devices to provide comfort and safety. ■ Set the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable height and distance. The display should be no higher than eye level to avoid eye strain. ■ Place the computer so that it is directly in front of you when you work and make sure you have adequate space to easily operate other devices. ■ Allow adequate space behind the computer to let you freely adjust the display.
Getting Started Lighting Proper lighting can improve legibility of the display and reduce eye strain. ■ Position the computer so that sunlight or bright indoor lighting does not reflect off the screen. Use tinted windows, shades or other screen to eliminate sun glare. ■ Avoid placing the computer in front of bright light that could shine directly in your eyes. ■ If possible, use soft, indirect lighting in your computer work area.
Getting Started Connecting the AC adapter Attach the AC adapter when you need to charge the battery or you 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 from battery power.
