4.11. Data backup
Back up your data to external storage media before each update. We do
not accept any liability for claims for compensation arising from loss of
data or any consequential loss or damage.
4.12. Ergonomics
Avoid dazzle, reflections and a light-dark contrast that is too strong in
order to protect your eyes.
The notebook should never be placed next to a window because this is the
brightest part of the room in daylight. This brightness can make it more difficult for
the eyes to adjust to the darker display. The notebook should always be positioned
so that the direction of vision is parallel to the window front.
Setting up the notebook with your back to the window is incorrect as reflections
from the bright window on the screen will then be unavoidable. A position looking
onto the window is also incorrect as the contrast between the dark screen and the
bright daylight can cause problems for the eyes to adjust and result in problems.
The parallel line of vision should also be maintained in relation to artificial lighting
equipment.
In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where the workspace is
illuminated with artificial light. Where space restrictions make it impossible to set up
the screen as described, then correct positioning (rotating, tilting) of the notebook/
screen can prevent dazzling, reflections and excessive bright-dark contrast, etc. In
many cases, an improvement can also be achieved by using slats or vertical blinds
on the windows, partition walls or by changing the artificial lighting equipment.
