CHAPTER 3: Setting Up and Getting Started
14
Working safely and
comfortably
Before using your notebook, follow these general
guidelines for setting up a safe and comfortable work
area and avoiding discomfort and strain:
•
Keep hands and arms parallel to the floor.
•
Adjust the screen so it is perpendicular to your
line of sight.
•
Place your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest.
•
Although notebooks are sometimes called
“laptops,” do not use your notebook while it
rests on your
unprotected
lap. Notebook
operating temperatures can become quite high,
increasing the risk of burns to your legs. Instead,
use a laptop desk to protect your legs.
•
Do not use the notebook on any soft, conforming
surface, such as your lap, a blanket, carpet, or a
sofa. Soft surfaces can block your notebook’s
ventilation openings, leading to overheating,
permanent damage to your notebook, and fire
danger. Instead, place your notebook on a rigid,
hard surface, and make sure that you keep the
ventilation openings on the sides clear.
Reducing eye strain
Sunlight or bright indoor lighting should not reflect on
the screen or shine directly into your eyes.
•
Position the computer desk and screen so you can
avoid glare on your screen and light shining
directly into your eyes. Reduce glare by installing
shades or curtains on windows, and by installing
a glare screen filter.
•
Use soft, indirect lighting in your work area. Do
not use your notebook in a dark room.
Warning
Do not use your notebook on a soft surface, such as
your lap, a blanket, carpet, or a sofa. You must keep your
notebook’s ventilation openings clear of obstructions, or your
notebook may overheat, increasing the risk of fire and
personal injury.
