Important Ergonomic Information

Improper and prolonged use of keyboards and input devices can be associated with repetitive strain injury (RSI) to soft tissues in the hands and arms. If you do experience discomfort or pain while using any computing equipment, discontinue use immediately and consult your physician as soon as possible.

Your comfort and safety are our primary concern. Consequently, we strongly recommend that you read HP’s ergonomic information before using your e-Vectra. For detailed information, refer to HP’s online version of “Working in Comfort” which is preloaded on your e-Vectra’s hard disk or visit HP’s Working in Comfort Web Site at: www.hp.com/ergo

A summary is provided in the “Comfort and Safety Checklist” on page 8.

Comfort and Safety Checklist

•

•

•

•

Wo rk Surface Height

- Your work surface should be height adjustable.

To ensure that your work surface is at the correct height, first adjust the height of your chair so that your feet are firmly on the floor. Then adjust the work surface height until your forearms are parallel with this and other input devices.

Chair

- Your chair should provide a comfortable sitting position including features such as a height and tilt adjustment, curved seat edge, a stable base (for example, five legs and castors, adjustable back support, a freely rotating swivel and fully adjustable padded arm rests).

Monito r

- Place your monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level (up to 15 degrees).

Wo rk Surface Arrangement

- Make sure that all elements of your HP e-Vectra system for example, monitor, document holder, keyboard, mice and other input devices, and headphones and speakers- are optimally arranged and adjusted to meet your personal requirements.

For example, if you are primarily using the keyboard, place it directly in front of you, not to the side. If your work involves extensive use of a mouse or other pointing device, place that device directly in front of your left or right arm. If you are using both a mouse and keyboard, place them both at the same work surface height and close together. If a palm rest is used, the height should be flush with the front edge of the keyboard. Other items, such as your telephone or notepad, should also be considered.

Caution Various aspects of using mice, keyboards and other input devices may increase your risk of discomfort or injury. Optimize your comfort and safety by positioning these devices properly.

Your Work Posture

Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the potential risk for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you maintain a proper posture.

•

Head

- When viewing your monitor, your head should not be tilted more than 15 degrees forward, and do not turn your head toward either side.

•

•

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.

A rms

- Make sure your arms and elbows are relaxed and loose, with your upper arms perpendicular to the floor or tilted downward not more than 15 degrees. Keep your forearms and hands approximately parallel with the floor with elbows bent between 70 and 115 degrees. Keep your elbows close to your sides (less than 20 degrees away from your body).

9

Comfort and Safety Checklist

•

•

•

Hands, Wrists, Forearms

- Try to keep your hands wrists and forearms in a relaxed neutral position when using your mouse keyboard or other input devices. For example, while using your keyboard and mouse, rest your forearms (flat) on your desktop.

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.

Fee t

- If after adjusting your chair you cannot rest your feet comfortably on the floor, use a footrest, preferably one that can be adjusted in height and angle.

Overall

•

•

•

•

Look away from the screen from time-to-time to help reduce eyestrain.

Focus on distant objects briefly, and blink periodically to lubricate your eyes. You also should have your eyes checked on a regular basis and ensure your eyeglass prescription is suitable for working on a computer monitor.

Remember to occasionally shift position and move your body. Keeping your body in one position for long periods is unnatural and stressful.

When prolonged work is required, take frequent short breaks. As a rule of thumb, a five or ten minute break every hour is a good idea. Short frequent breaks are more beneficial than longer less frequent breaks.

Data show that people who work for long periods of time without a break may be more prone to ergonomic injury.

Changing tasks frequently will help prevent muscle stiffness. Examples: alternating between keyboarding, reading, writing, filing, and moving around in your work environment, helps you maintain a relaxed posture. Occasionally stretch the muscles in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck and back. You should stretch at least as often as you take brief task breaks—at least once every hour.

Discomfort may be alleviated by using alternative ergonomic designs and accessories such as ergonomically personalized chairs, palm rests, keyboard trays, alternative input devices, prescription eyeglasses, antiglare screens, and more. Seek additional information from the sources available to you, including your employer, doctor, local office supply store, and the
