Work habits
The key to avoiding discomfort or injury from strain is to
vary your activities. If possible, schedule a variety of tasks
into your working day. Finding ways to break up the routine
can reduce stress and improve your efficiency.
❖
Take frequent breaks to change position, stretch your
muscles, and relieve your eyes. A break of two or three
minutes every half hour is more effective than a long
break after several hours.
❖
Avoid performing repetitive activities for long periods.
Intersperse such activities with other tasks.
❖
Focusing your eyes on your computer screen for long
periods can cause eyestrain. Look away from the
computer frequently and focus your eyes on a distant
object for at least 30 seconds.
Precautions
Your notebook computer is designed to provide optimum
safety and ease of use, and to withstand the rigors of travel.
You should observe certain precautions to further reduce the
risk of personal injury or damage to the computer.
❖
Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside of
the computer.
If the computer is used for long periods, its case can
become very warm. While the temperature may not feel
too hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with
the computer for a long time (if you rest the computer on
your lap, for example), your skin might suffer low-heat
injury.
❖
Never apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it
to sharp impacts. Excessive pressure or impact can
damage computer components or otherwise cause your
computer to malfunction.
