2 Using Your PC Working in Comfort Your HP Keyboard Your HP keyboard has a long cable so you can place it in the position most comfortable for you while you are using the system. The keyboard has a low profile to prevent excessive bending of your wrists while typing. Literature suggests that you should not bend your wrists more than 10 degrees up or down, or more than 10 degrees sideways. Keep your wrists straight by moving your entire hand and forearm over to use the function keys or numeric keypad. Your HP keyboard may have a kickstand which can be opened or closed to raise or lower the keyboard angle. If your elbows are at about the same level as the work surface, then you may choose not to use the kickstand. If your elbows are below the work surface, you may wish to raise the back of the keyboard by using the kickstand. The point is to make sure that your hands are in a "neutral" or flat position when you use the keyboard. This means that your forearms, wrists, and hands should be in straight line. You may use a wrist rest to help keep your wrists in a more comfortable and neutral position. If you use a wrist rest, ensure that it is flush in height with the front edge of the keyboard, and rounded or padded. Try not to rest your wrists on a sharp edge, such as a desk edge, when typing. 20 English
