Using the Pavilion Notebook PC Working in Comfort Your Chair It's very important that your chair provides a comfortable sitting position and offers the following features: • A stable base, such as five legs with casters. Make sure the casters are designed for the type of floor you have in your workspace, whether it is bare or carpeted. • A height- and tilt-adjustment feature. It should be easy to adjust your chair height from 40 cm to 52 cm (15.5 inches to 20.5 inches) as measured from the top of the seat pan to the floor. If you are much taller or shorter than average, you may need a chair that can be adjusted beyond this range. Adjust your chair so that the work surface or keyboard tray is at elbow height and your feet are flat on the floor with your knees slightly bent below your hips. Ideally, the seat pan should be able to tilt both forward (minimum of 5 degrees) and backward (minimum of 10 degrees). If the chair has an adjustable seat pan, inclining the seat slightly forward will transfer some of the pressure from the spine to the thighs and feet. This will relieve pressure on your back. • A curved seat edge. The front of the seat should be curved and finished in a "waterfall" edge. • An adjustable back support in both height and forward and backward tilt. It is important that the backrest correctly supports the lower part, or lumbar curve, of the back. 36 Setup Guide

Setup Guide
Your Chair
It’s very important that your chair provides a comfortable sitting position and offers the
following features:
A stable base, such as five legs with casters.
Make sure the casters are
designed for the type of floor you have in your workspace, whether it is bare or
carpeted.
A height- and tilt-adjustment feature.
It should be easy to adjust your chair
height from 40 cm to 52 cm (15.5 inches to 20.5 inches) as measured from the top of
the seat pan to the floor. If you are much taller or shorter than average, you may need
a chair that can be adjusted beyond this range. Adjust your chair so that the work
surface or keyboard tray is at elbow height and your feet are flat on the floor with
your knees slightly bent below your hips. Ideally, the seat pan should be able to tilt
both forward (minimum of 5 degrees) and backward (minimum of 10 degrees). If the
chair has an adjustable seat pan, inclining the seat slightly forward will transfer some
of the pressure from the spine to the thighs and feet. This will relieve pressure on
your back.
A curved seat edge.
The front of the seat should be curved and finished in a
“waterfall” edge.
An adjustable back support
in both height and forward and backward tilt. It is
important that the backrest correctly supports the lower part, or lumbar curve, of the
back.
