Getting Started
If you can adjust the work surface or the keyboard support, adjust the
chair to rest your feet flat on the floor and to firmly support your
thighs with the seat base. Leave the chair at this adjusted position as
you go through the following steps.
If you cannot adjust the work surface or the keyboard support, adjust
your seating position as described in the following steps.
Step 1: Arms
Rest your fingers on the keyboard. Relax your upper arms; they
should be nearly vertical at your sides. Your forearms should bend
nearly at right angles to your upper arms.
u
If your upper arms are not vertical, adjust the distance between the
chair and the keyboard until they are.
