Using your mobile computer
•
Position the computer so your wrists and hands are in a neutral position. Your wrists
should be as straight as possible and should not have to bend sideways or more than
10 degrees up or down. Your HP notebook computer has a built-in palm rest, which is
ideal for this purpose.
•
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 1.5 and 4 kilograms
(approximately 3 to 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.
