Chapter 1. Arranging your workspace Comfort To get the most from your computer, arrange both the equipment you use and your work area to suit your needs and the kind of work you do. Your comfort is of foremost importance, but light sources, air circulation, and the location of electrical outlets also can affect the way you arrange your workspace. Although no single working position is ideal for everyone, here are a few guidelines to help you find a position that suits you best. Sitting in the same position for a long time can cause fatigue. A good chair can make a big difference. The backrest and seat should adjust independently and provide good support. The seat should have a curved front to relieve pressure on the thighs. Adjust the seat so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and your feet are either flat on the floor or on a footrest. When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your wrists in a neutral, comfortable position. Try to keep a light touch on the keyboard and your hands and fingers relaxed. You can change the angle of the keyboard for maximum comfort by adjusting the position of the keyboard feet. Viewing Distance Lower Back Support Seat Height Adjust the monitor so the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level. Place the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 51 to 61 cm (20 to 24 in.), and position it so you can view it without having to twist your body. Also position other equipment you use regularly, such as the telephone or a mouse, within easy reach. Glare and lighting Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights, windows, and other light sources. Even reflected light from shiny surfaces can cause annoying reflections on your monitor screen. Place the monitor at right angles to windows and other light sources, when possible. Reduce overhead lighting, if necessary, by turning off lights or using lower wattage bulbs. If you install the monitor near a window, use curtains or blinds to block the sunlight. You might have to adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor as the room lighting changes throughout the day. © Lenovo 2005, 2007. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005. 1

1.
Arranging
your
workspace
To
get
the
most
from
your
computer,
arrange
both
the
equipment
you
use
and
your
work
area
to
suit
your
needs
and
the
kind
of
work
you
do.
Your
comfort
is
of
foremost
importance,
but
light
sources,
air
circulation,
and
the
location
of
electrical
outlets
also
can
affect
the
way
you
arrange
your
workspace.
Comfort
Although
no
single
working
position
is
ideal
for
everyone,
here
are
a
few
guidelines
to
help
you
find
a
position
that
suits
you
best.
Sitting
in
the
same
position
for
a
long
time
can
cause
fatigue.
A
good
chair
can
make
a
big
difference.
The
backrest
and
seat
should
adjust
independently
and
provide
good
support.
The
seat
should
have
a
curved
front
to
relieve
pressure
on
the
thighs.
Adjust
the
seat
so
that
your
thighs
are
parallel
to
the
floor
and
your
feet
are
either
flat
on
the
floor
or
on
a
footrest.
When
using
the
keyboard,
keep
your
forearms
parallel
to
the
floor
and
your
wrists
in
a
neutral,
comfortable
position.
Try
to
keep
a
light
touch
on
the
keyboard
and
your
hands
and
fingers
relaxed.
You
can
change
the
angle
of
the
keyboard
for
maximum
comfort
by
adjusting
the
position
of
the
keyboard
feet.
Viewing Distance
Lower
Back
Support
Seat
Height
Adjust
the
monitor
so
the
top
of
the
screen
is
at,
or
slightly
below,
eye
level.
Place
the
monitor
at
a
comfortable
viewing
distance,
usually
51
to
61
cm
(20
to
24
in.),
and
position
it
so
you
can
view
it
without
having
to
twist
your
body.
Also
position
other
equipment
you
use
regularly,
such
as
the
telephone
or
a
mouse,
within
easy
reach.
Glare
and
lighting
Position
the
monitor
to
minimize
glare
and
reflections
from
overhead
lights,
windows,
and
other
light
sources.
Even
reflected
light
from
shiny
surfaces
can
cause
annoying
reflections
on
your
monitor
screen.
Place
the
monitor
at
right
angles
to
windows
and
other
light
sources,
when
possible.
Reduce
overhead
lighting,
if
necessary,
by
turning
off
lights
or
using
lower
wattage
bulbs.
If
you
install
the
monitor
near
a
window,
use
curtains
or
blinds
to
block
the
sunlight.
You
might
have
to
adjust
the
brightness
and
contrast
controls
on
the
monitor
as
the
room
lighting
changes
throughout
the
day.
