Getting Started
Selecting a place to work
Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field,
such as stereo speakers (other than speakers that are
connected to the computer) 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.
If you spill liquid into the computer, turn off the computer,
unplug it from the AC power source, and let it dry out
completely before turning it on again.
If the computer does not operate correctly after you turn it back
on, contact your network administrator. If your computer still
does not operate, refer to
“If you need further assistance” on
page 193
for additional technical assistance.
Keeping yourself comfortable
Strain and stress injuries are becoming more common as
people spend more time using their computers. With a little
care and proper use of the equipment, you can work
comfortably throughout the day.
Using the computer keyboard incorrectly may result in
discomfort and possible injury. If your hands, wrists, and/or
arms bother you while typing, stop using the computer and
rest. If the discomfort persists, consult a physician.
This section provides hints on avoiding strain and stress
injuries. For more information, consult books on ergonomics,
repetitive-strain injury, and repetitive-stress syndrome.
