Page 24

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 You 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.

How do I work comfortably?

Page 25

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 (see page 27).

Thighs tilted slightly

Shoulders relaxed

Screen positioned to avoid reflected glare

Forearms and hands in a straight line

Forearms level or tilted down slightly

Lower back supported

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.)

Clearance under work surface

45–70 cm (18–28 in.)

Page 26

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 Your 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.

Warning Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused.

Operation of this product must always be supervised by an adult. Do not allow children access to the interior of this product and do not permit them to handle any cables.

Communications regulation information

FCC compliance statement

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. See instructions if interference to radio or television reception is suspected.

Radio and television interference

The equipment described in this manual generates, uses, and can radiate radiofrequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with Apple’s instructions—it may cause interference with radio and television reception.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

You can determine whether your computer system is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one of the peripheral devices.

If your computer system does cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

m Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops. m Move the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio. m Move the computer farther away from the television or radio. m Plug the computer into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or

radio. (That is, make certain the computer and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

If necessary, consult an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple. See the service and support information that came with your Apple product. Or, consult an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by Apple Computer, Inc., could void the FCC Certification and negate your authority to operate the product.

Important This product was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that

included the use of Apple peripheral devices and Apple shielded cables and connectors between system components. It is important that you use Apple peripheral devices and shielded cables and connectors between system components to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, television sets, and other electronic devices. You can obtain Apple peripheral devices and the proper shielded cables and connectors through an Apple-authorized dealer. For non-Apple peripheral devices, contact the manufacturer or dealer for assistance.

Responsible party (contact for FCC matters only): Apple Computer, Inc., Product Compliance, 1 Infinite Loop M/S 26-A, Cupertino, CA 95014-2084, 408-974-2000.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

The radiated output power of the optional AirPort Card is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, it is advised to use the wireless equipment in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

Telephone and modem information

Some telephone companies require that you notify the local business office when you hook up a modem to their lines.

Information you need in the United States

The internal modem complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the back of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN). If requested, provide this information to your telephone company.

m Ringer equivalence number (REN): 0.8–0.9 The REN is useful to determine the

quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone lines and still have all those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

m Telephone jack type: USOC, RJ-11 An FCC-compliant telephone cord and modular

plug are provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that complies with Part 68 rules. See the installation instructions for details.

Telephone line problems

If your telephone doesn’t work, there may be a problem with your telephone line. Disconnect the modem to see if the problem goes away. If it doesn’t, report the problem either to your local telephone company or to your company’s telecommunications people.

If disconnecting the modem eliminates the problem, the modem itself may need service. See the service and support information that came with your Apple product for instructions on how to contact Apple or an Apple-authorized service provider for assistance.

If you do not disconnect your modem when it is adversely affecting the telephone line, the telephone company has the right to disconnect your service temporarily until you correct the problem. The telephone company will notify you as soon as possible. Also, you will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

The optional internal modem will not work with party lines, cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and may not work with a private branch exchange (PBX).

Telephone Consumer Protection Act

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it was sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine of such business, entity, or individual.

Information you need in Canada

The Industry Canada (IC) label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to a user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, make sure that you are permitted to connect to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. Be sure you use an acceptable method of connection to install the equipment. In some cases, you may extend the company’s internal wiring for single-line individual service by means of a certified telephone extension cord. Be aware, however, that compliance with these conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Informations destinés aux utilisateurs Canadiens

L’étiquette d’Industrie Canada identifie un matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme à certaines normes de protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications. Le Ministère n’assure toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.

Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le raccorder au réseau de l’entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de raccordement. Dans certains cas, le cablage appartenant à l’entreprise utilisé pour un service individuel à ligne unique peut être prolongé au moyen d’un dispositif homologué de raccordement (cordon prolongateur téléphonique).

L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empechent pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations. De fait, les entreprises de télécommunication ne permettent pas que l’on raccorde un matériel aux prises d’abonné, sauf dans les cas précis prévus par les tarifs particuliers de ces entreprises.

Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être effectuées par un centre d’entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de télécommuncations peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un appareil suite à des réparations ou des modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.

Pour sa propre protection, I’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre du secteur, des lignes téléphoniques et les canalisations d’eau métalliques, s’il y en a, soient raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.

Avertissement L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-

même; il doit avoir recours à un service d’inspection des installations électriques ou à un électricien, selon le cas.

m Numéro de charge : 0.3 L’indice de charge (IC) assigné à chaque dispositif

terminal indique, pour éviter toute surcharge, le pourcentage de la charge totale qui sera raccordée à un circuit téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce dispositif.

Information you need in Australia

All telecommunications devices are required to be labelled as complying to the Australian telecommunications standards, ensuring the health and safety of the operator and the integrity of the Australian telecommunications network. To provide compliance with the Australian Communications Authority’s technical standards, please ensure that the following AT commands are maintained:

Page 31

m ATB0 (ITU/CCITT operation) m AT&G0 (no guard tone) m AT&P1 (33/66 pulse dial make/break ratio) m ATS0 = 0 or ATS0 = 1 (no answer or answer greater than one ring) m ATS6 = 95 (DTMF period between 70–255 ms) m ATS11 = 95 (DTMF period between 70–255 ms)

For calls that are automatically generated, a total of three call attempts are allowed to a telephone number, with a minimum period between calls of 2 seconds. If the call does not connect after three attempts, 30 minutes must expire before automatic redialing may be initiated. Failure to set the modem (and any associated communications software) to the above settings may result in the modem being non-compliant with Australian telecommunications standards. Under these circumstances a user could be subject to significant penalties under the Telecommunications Act 1997.

This modem must be properly secured in order for you to use it. Telecommunications network voltages exist inside the computer and the telecommunications line connection must be removed before opening the computer.

Information you need in New Zealand

This modem is fully approved to operate on the New Zealand telecommunications network under Telepermit number PTC 211/98/119. All telecommunications devices are required to hold a Telepermit and be labelled accordingly with the approved Telepermit number to comply with the New Zealand telecommunications standards, ensuring the health and safety of the operator and the integrity of the New Zealand telecommunications network.

Customers in New Zealand who are prompted to choose a country for their modem should choose the “Australia” country code setting.

To ensure compliance, all calls that are automatically generated should not make more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute period with a minimum period between calls of 30 seconds. Failure to adhere to these standards may result in the modem being non-compliant with New Zealand Telecom standards. Under these circumstances a user could be subject to significant penalties.

If pulse dialing is required for any reason, the communications software must be set up to record numbers according to the following translation list.

m Number to be dialed: 0; number to be entered into computer: 0 m Number to be dialed: 1; number to be entered into computer: 9 m Number to be dialed: 2; number to be entered into computer: 8 m Number to be dialed: 3; number to be entered into computer: 7

m Number to be dialed: 4; number to be entered into computer: 6 m Number to be dialed: 5; number to be entered into computer: 5 m Number to be dialed: 6; number to be entered into computer: 4 m Number to be dialed: 7; number to be entered into computer: 3 m Number to be dialed: 8; number to be entered into computer: 2 m Number to be dialed: 9; number to be entered into computer: 1 m Number to be dialed: 0; number to be entered into computer: 0

The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones as this is faster than pulse (decadic) dialing and is readily available on almost all New Zealand telephone exchanges.
