Be sure that the power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily accessible
and located as close to the equipment operator as possible. When you need to
disconnect power to the equipment, be sure to unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet.

The product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices
according to §2 of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

Usage warnings

• Do not use this product near water. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or
into the product.

• Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table. If the product
falls, it could be seriously damaged.

• Slots and openings are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable
operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These
openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be

blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register, or in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock.

• To avoid damage of internal components and to prevent battery leakage,
do not place the product on a vibrating surface.

ampere rating of the equipment plugged into the extension cord does not
exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total
rating of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the fuse
rating.

• Do not overload a power outlet, strip or receptacle by plugging in too
many devices. The overall system load must not exceed 80% of the branch
circuit rating. If power strips are used, the load should not exceed 80% of
the power strip's input rating.

• This product's power supply is equipped with a three-wire grounded plug.
The plug only fits in a grounded power outlet. Make sure the power outlet
is properly grounded before inserting the power supply plug. Do not insert
the plug into a non-grounded power outlet. Contact your electrician for
details.

ix

Warning! The grounding pin is a safety feature. Using a
power outlet that is not properly grounded may result in

• Gradually increase the volume until you can hear it clearly and comfortably
and without distortion.

• After setting the volume level, do not increase it after your ears adjust.

• Limit the amount of time listening to music at high volume.

• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

• Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you.

Tips and information for comfortable use

Computer users may complain of eyestrain and headaches after prolonged use.
Users are also at risk of physical injury after long hours of working in front of a
computer. Long work periods, bad posture, poor work habits, stress, inadequate
working conditions, personal health and other factors greatly increase the risk
of physical injury.

Incorrect computer usage may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis,
tenosynovitis or other musculoskeletal disorders. The following symptoms may
appear in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck or back:

• numbness, or a burning or tingling sensation

• aching, soreness or tenderness

• pain, swelling or throbbing

• stiffness or tightness

• coldness or weakness

If you have these symptoms, or any other recurring or persistent discomfort
and/or pain related to computer use, consult a physician immediately and
inform your company's health and safety department.

The following sections provide tips for more comfortable computer use.

Finding your comfort zone

Find your comfort zone by adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor, using a
footrest, or raising your sitting height to achieve maximum comfort. Observe
the following tips:

• Refrain from staying too long in one fixed posture.

• Avoid slouching forward and/or leaning backward.

• Stand up and walk around regularly to remove the strain on your leg
muscles.

• Take short rests to relax your neck and shoulders.

• Avoid tensing your muscles or shrugging your shoulders.

• Install the external display, keyboard and mouse properly and within
comfortable reach.

• If you view your monitor more than your documents, place the display at
the center of your desk to minimize neck strain.

xiii

Taking care of your vision

Long viewing hours, wearing incorrect glasses or contact lenses, glare, excessive
room lighting, poorly focused screens, very small typefaces and low-contrast
displays could stress your eyes. The following items provide suggestions on how
to reduce eyestrain.

•Eyes

• Rest your eyes frequently.

• Give your eyes regular breaks by looking away from the monitor and
focusing on a distant point.

• Blink frequently to keep your eyes from drying out.

•Display

• Keep your display clean.

• Keep your head at a higher level than the top edge of the display so
your eyes point downward when looking at the middle of the display.

• Adjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level
for enhanced text readability and graphics clarity.

• Eliminate glare and reflections by:
– placing your display in such a way that the side faces the window or

any light source
– minimizing room light by using drapes, shades or blinds
– using a task light
– changing the display's viewing angle
– using a glare-reduction filter
– using a display visor, such as a piece of cardboard extended from

the display's top front edge

• Avoid adjusting your display to an awkward viewing angle.

• Avoid looking at bright light sources, such as open windows, for
extended periods of time.

Important: The product is not suitable for use with visual
display work place devices according to §2 of the German
Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

xiv

Developing good work habits

Develop the following work habits to make your computer use more relaxing
and productive:

• Take short breaks regularly and often.

• Perform some stretching exercises.

• Breathe fresh air as often as possible.

• Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy body.

Warning! We do not recommend using the computer on a
couch or bed. If this is unavoidable, work for only short
periods, take breaks regularly, and do some stretching
exercises.
