Comfort and Health
HEALTH WARNING: Keyboard use or use of a pointing device may be linked to
serious injuries or disorders. For further information, visit the My Clinic website at
www.myoclinic.org.
You may help prevent the occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck,
and other parts of your body by:
■ Taking frequent breaks to stretch and change your working position.
■ Resting your hands and wrists frequently so they have time to recover from
repetitive movements. Use a wrist pad.
■ Using the touch pad on a keyboard or the Tablet PC pen, which change the way you
use your hands and wrists; this provides a break from the keyboard keys or mouse.
If these symptoms persist or continue to occur and include pain, throbbing, aching,
tingling, numbness, burning sensations, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE
WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.

Federal Communications Commission Notice
(United States)
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any electromagnetic disturbance that
interrupts, obstructs, or otherwise degrades or limits the effective
performance of electronics or electrical equipment. These emissions can
potentially disrupt, degrade, or otherwise interfere with authorized electronic
emissions, which may include television, AM/FM broadcasts, cellular
services, radar, air-traffic control, and pagers.
The FCC Rules and Regulations have established Radio Frequency (RF) emission
limits to provide an interference-free RF spectrum. Many electronic devices, including
computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore,
covered by these rules.
