Important Ergonomic Information
Some experts believe that using any mouse or trackball may cause serious injury to
hands, wrists, arms, neck, or back. If you feel pain, numbness, or weakness in these
areas, see a qualified health professional.
To reduce the risk of injury, follow these precautions:
• Take frequent breaks, get up and walk around several times every hour.
• Vary your tasks throughout the day.
• Keep your shoulders relaxed with your elbows at your side. Position your keyboard
and mouse so you do not have to reach and make sure your arms are supported.
• Adjust your chair and keyboard so your upper arms and wrists are straight.
• Avoid resting your wrists on sharp edges.
About the Hoverstop Ergonomic system:
The Hoverstop system is designed to reduce the amount of static muscle load during
computer work. If the instructions are followed up correctly, a reduction in static work
load may be expected, with possible benefits such as less fatigue, more comfort and
possibly a reduction of (the risk of) computer related health problems. However, the
system may not work in the same way for each individual.
Some instructions and tips for better use of the Hoverstop mouse:
• Please read the instructions carefully and follow them during use.
• If the feedback function reminds you to remove your hand, take your hand off the
mouse completely and rest your hand on the table in front of you. If necessary,
create space on your desk by pushing the keyboard forward.
• Do not hover your hand above the mouse. This increases the static muscle tension
and may cause (an increase in) complaints.
• Do not ‘extend’ your hand back while resting your wrist or forearm on the table.
This may increase the risk of computer related health problems or may increase
existing complaints.
Disclaimer:
Using the Hoverstop mouse does not in any way release the user from the responsibility of taking other
measures to avoid getting computer related health problems. Use the mouse sparingly, take sufficient breaks,
use the keyboard when possible, vary your tasks, and avoid using a mouse for long times continuously. Do
exercises frequently and relax your muscles when you experience problems or at least several times per hour.
In any case of doubt if you should be using a Hoverstop mouse or not, please consult a qualified physician.
Important Note:
If you feel you are getting complaints from using the Hoverstop mouse, or that existing complaints have
increased, see a qualified health professional. If necessary, stop using the Hoverstop mouse or at least
disable the vibration and/or visual feedback function (see instructions on how to do this).
