Leave enough space around the device and other equipment to provide adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat. To keep your device in prime operating condition, protect your work area from: ❖ Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight. ❖ Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the device) or speakerphones. ❖ Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of temperature change such as air conditioner vents or heaters. ❖ Extreme heat, cold, or humidity. ❖ Liquids and corrosive chemicals. Keeping yourself comfortable This section provides information for setting up your work environment and tips for working comfortably throughout the day. Device user comfort recommendations Good Working Posture ❖ Adjust your chair height: your feet should be flat on the floor and the bottom of your thighs should be evenly supported by the seat. If your feet cannot reach the floor, use a foot rest. Avoid pressure points behind the knee or under the thigh. ❖ The space under your desk should be free of clutter so that your legs and feet are not restricted, and you can get close enough to your notebook and other items that you use frequently. ❖ Adjust the chair back rest: it should match the curve of your back and provide comfortable back support.
