44 Getting Started Features and components Mobile computing tips ❖ When using the notebook at airports, on airplanes or trains, or at meetings, make sure that you take the time to consider the points just mentioned. ❖ When working on the road it may be difficult to set up the notebook in an optimal position. In these situations it is important that you take frequent breaks and change your posture frequently to relieve the excess loads on your body. ❖ Be creative, when in a hotel room, use a rolled up blanket or pillows to provide back support, or to provide arm support. To position the device at a good height, remember to operate the device on a hard flat stable surface. Using your device on a carpet, blanket or other soft materials can block the air vents including those located at the base of the device and possibly cause overheating of your device. Transporting the notebook Although your notebook is light, carrying it for a long time may lead to shoulder and arm fatigue. If you carry your notebook with other items, consider using an ergonomicallydesigned device case. Seeking additional help Follow the advice from your employer's company health and safety staff. Contact them if you need assistance making adjustment to your workstation or adjusting the lighting. Again, if you experience persistent or recurrent pain, ache, numbness, burning, or stiffness you should promptly see a qualified health care provider. These sensations may be caused by serious medical conditions that can be treated.
