The following suggestions are meant to increase your working comfort.
Remember that frequent rest breaks and exercises are advised after a period
of typing on any keyboard.

 

U s in g T he  La pL a nd e r ™

Your Professional II™ comes attached to an optional LapLander™.
The LapLander™ is designed for the user to position the hand units
on the lap as opposed to placing them on the desk.  The
LapLander™ is made of a flat-surfaced board with foam attached on
the bottom in order to provide cushion while resting the Professional
II™ on your lap.  If you choose to use the Professional II™ without
the optional LapLander, the hand units should be removed from the
LapLander™ and placed on the desk.

WARNING:  DO NOT REMOVE THE FOAM PADS AND REATTACH TO
THE LAPLANDER --- THE SCREWS WILL BREAK THROUGH THE
PLASTIC TOP.

Step 1. Positioning your chair, arms and legs.

 

Your hands and wrists should be in line with each other.  Your wrists
should not be twisted or bent.  Arm rests on the sides of your chair
can help to support your arms and increase your comfort.

 

♦

 

If you use the optional LapLander™:

You can lean back in your chair as you type, but remember to
position yourself so that your wrists are straight.

 

♦

 

If you do not use the optional LapLander™:

Place the hand units on the table in front of you.  Adjust your
chair so that when you sit you will have angles of 90 degrees or
more at your knees, hips-to-thighs and elbows.  If your chair has
arm rests, you may find you are now able to use them to help
support your arms and upper body while you are using the
DataHand® System.

Warning

Although this DataHand

®

 System was designed with the goal of reducing injury

exposure, the prolonged use of any manually-operated data entry device (including
this DataHand

®

 System) may result in repetitive stress injury or related injury.

If pain, discomfort, numbness or tingling in the hands or arms is experienced during or as a
result of use, consult an appropriate medical professional and reduce usage until discomfort
is eliminated.  

Avoid other activities that may aggravate your condition, such as using other

less ergonomic keyboards.

  To reduce your risk of repetitive stress injury, please see the

ergonomic guidelines in the 

Ergonomic

 

Suggestions

 section of this user manual.

Take frequent breaks from typing and maintain good health habits.
