Selecting a location for the computer Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for the computer, monitor, and any other devices. Select a location for the computer where it will remain dry. Leave approximately 50 mm (2 in.) of space around the computer for proper air circulation. For information about arranging the computer and ease-of-use, see the following sections. Arranging the workspace To get the most from the 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 can also affect the way you arrange your workspace. Comfort The following guidelines will help you decide what working position suits you best. Choose a comfortable chair to reduce fatigue from sitting in the same position for long periods. 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. Change the angle of the keyboard for maximum comfort by adjusting the position of the keyboard feet. Adjust the monitor so that 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 that you can view it without having to twist your body. Glare and lighting Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights, windows, and other light sources. Place the monitor at right angles to light sources whenever possible. Reduce overhead lighting, if necessary, by turning off lights or Chapter 1. Introduction 5
