Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort
■
When using the product at airports, on airplanes or trains, or at
meetings, make sure that you take the time to consider the points just
mentioned.
■
When working on the road it may be difficult to set up the product in an
optimal position. In these situations it is important that you take frequent
breaks and change your posture frequently to relieve the excess loads
on your body.
■
Be creative, when in a hotel room, use a rolled up blanket or pillows to
provide back support, or to provide arm support. To position the
product at a good height, remember to operate the product on a hard
flat stable surface. Using your product on a carpet, blanket or other soft
materials can block the air vents including those located at the base of
the product and possibly cause overheating of your product (See
“Provide adequate ventilation” section in this
Instruction Manual for
Safety and Comfort
).
Carrying your product for a long time may lead to shoulder and arm fatigue.
If you carry your product with other items, consider using an ergonomically-
designed computer case.
Follow the advice from your company health and safety staff. Contact them
if you need assistance making adjustment to your workstation or adjusting
the lighting.
Again, if you experience persistent or recurrent pain, ache, numbness,
burning, or stiffness you should promptly see a qualified health care
provider. These sensations may be caused by serious medical conditions
that can be treated.
