The Wind Box DE500/ DC500 is a portable platform that allows you to work any-

where.  However, choosing a good workspace is important if you have to work 

with your PC for a long period of time.

Your work area should have enough illumination.

Choose the proper desk and chair and adjust their height to fit your pos-

ture when operating.

When sitting on the chair, adjust the chair’s back (if available) to support 

your back comfortably.

Place you feet flat and naturally on the floor, so that your knees and el-

bows have the proper position (about 90-degree) when operating.

Put your hands on the desk naturally to support your wrists.

Adjust the angle/ position of the Wind Box DE500/ DC500 to have an 

optimal view.

Avoid using your PC in a place where discomfort may occur (such as on 

the bed).

The Wind Box DE500/ DC500 is an electrical device. Please treat it with 

great care to avoid personal injury.

Keep your hands and feet with optimal comfort.
Adjust the angle and position of the monitor.
Adjust the desk’s height.
Sit straight and keep a good posture.
Adjust the chair’s height.
