The guidelines in this section can help you work more comfortably with your computer. For detailed information about ergonomics, see Apple’s Environmental Health and Safety Web site at www.apple.com/about/ergonomics

Keyboard

m When you use the computer keyboard, your shoulders should be

relaxed. Your upper arm and forearm should form an approximate right angle, with your wrist and hand in roughly a straight line.

m Yo u may have to raise your chair so your forearms and hands are at the

proper angle to the keyboard. If this makes it impossible to rest your feet flat on the floor, you can use a footrest with adjustable height and tilt to make up for any gap between the floor and your feet. Or you may lower the desktop to eliminate the need for a footrest. Another option is to use a desk with a keyboard tray that is lower than the regular work surface.

m Use a light touch when typing and keep your hands and fingers relaxed.

Avoid rolling your thumbs under your palms.

Mouse

m Position the mouse at the same height as your keyboard. Allow

adequate space to use the mouse comfortably.

Chair

m An adjustable chair that provides firm, comfortable support is best.

Adjust the height of the chair so your thighs are horizontal and your feet flat on the floor.

m The back of the chair should support your lower back (lumbar region).

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting the backrest to fit your body properly.

Computer

m Arrange the computer so the top of the screen is slightly below your

eye level when you’re sitting at the keyboard. The best distance from your eyes to the screen is up to you, although most people seem to prefer 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm).

m Position the computer to minimize glare and reflections on the screen

from overhead lights and windows.

Work more comfortably.

Important Don’t lift the computer using the flip-out foot. You could

damage your computer. To move your computer, grab the handle on the top of the computer with one hand; with your other hand, hold the bottom of the computer.

Avoiding fatigue

m Change your seated position, stand up, or stretch whenever you start

to feel tired. Frequent short breaks are helpful in reducing fatigue.

m Use a light touch when typing or using a mouse and keep your hands

and fingers relaxed.

m Some computer users may develop discomfort in their hands, wrists,

or arms after periods of intensive work without breaks. If you begin to develop chronic pain or discomfort in your hands, wrists, or arms, consult a qualified health specialist immediately.

m Allow adequate workspace so that you can use your keyboard and

mouse comfortably. Place papers or other items so you can view them easily while using your computer. A document stand may make reading papers more comfortable.

m Eye muscles must work harder to focus on nearby objects.

Occasionally focus your eyes on a distant object, and blink often while you work.

m Clean your screen regularly. Keeping the screen clean helps reduce

unwanted reflections.

Shoulders relaxed

Forearms and hands in a straight line

Lower back supported

Forearms level or tilted down slightly

Thighs tilted slightly

45–70 cm (18–28 in.)

Feet flat on the floor

Top of the screen at or slightly below eye level (You may need to adjust the height of your monitor by raising your work surface.)

Screen positioned to avoid reflected glare

Clearance under work surface

Safety

Make sure that you

m keep these instructions handy for reference by you and others who

may use your computer

m follow all instructions and warnings regarding your system

When setting up and using your computer, remember the following:

m Place your computer in a location with adequate ventilation. Never

block the vents on the computer.

m Yo ur computer has a three-wire grounding plug that will only fit a

grounded AC outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet.

m Make sure you only connect the modem to an analog phone line, the

type commonly used in residences. Do not connect a digital telephone line to the modem, because it could damage the modem.

m Never turn on your computer unless all of its internal and external

parts are in place. Operating the computer when it is open or missing parts can be dangerous and damage your computer.

Important The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug

the power cord. Make sure at least one end of the power cord is within easy reach so that you can unplug the computer when you need to.

For your own safety and that of your equipment, always disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cord) if any of the following conditions exists:

m you want to remove any parts (leave the cord disconnected as long as

the computer is open)

m the power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged m you spill something into the case m your computer is exposed to rain or any other excess moisture m your computer has been dropped or the case has been otherwise

damaged

m you suspect that your computer needs service or repair m you want to clean the case (use only the recommended procedure

discussed in Mac Help)

Be sure that you always do the following:

m Keep your computer away from sources of liquids, such as drinks,

washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on.

m Protect your computer from dampness or wet weather, such as rain,

snow, and so on.
