For example, if you are primarily using the keyboard, place it directly in

mouse or other pointing device, place that device directly in front of

your left or right arm. If you are using both a mouse and keyboard, place

them both at the same work surface height and close together. If a palm

Remember to occasionally shift position and move your body. Keeping
your body in one position for long periods is unnatural and stressful
When prolonged work is required, take frequent short breaks. As a rule

of thumb, a five or ten minute break every hour is a good idea. Short

frequent breaks are more beneficial than longer less frequent breaks

USA: use a UL listed type SVT detachable power cord.

Canada: use a CSA certified detachable power cord.

For your safety, never remove the e-Vectra's cover without first removing the power cord from the power
outlet and any connection to a telecommunications network. Always replace the cover before switching
the e-Vectra on again

(If lithium battery is used)

There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly installed. For your safety, never attempt to

recharge, disassemble, or burn an old battery. Only replace the battery with the same or equivalent type,

as recommended by the manufacturer. The battery in this e-Vectra is a lithium battery which does not

contain any heavy metals. Nevertheless, in order to protect the environment, do not dispose of batteries in
household waste. Please return used batteries either to the shop from which you bought them, to the
dealer from whom you purchased your e-Vectra, or to HP so that they can either be recycled or disposed
of in the correct way. Returned batteries will be accepted free of charge.

Si le cordon secteur n’est pas livré avec votre ordinateur, utiliser un cordon secteur en accord avec votre

(En cas d’utilisation de pile au lithium)

Il y a danger d'explosion lorsque la pile n'est pas installée correctement. Pour votre sécurité, ne jamais

essayer de recharger, de démonter ou de brûler l'ancienne pile. Remplacer uniquement avec une pile du

même type ou d'un type équivalent recommandé par le constructeur. La pile dans cet ordinateur est une

pile au lithium qui ne contient pas de métaux lourds, néanmoins, afin de protéger l'environement, ne jetez
pas les piles dans les ordures ménagères. Rendez les où vous les avez achetées, au revendeur où vous avez

acheté votre ordinateur ou à Hewlett Packard, pourqu'elles soient recyclées ou rangées de manière qui ne

nuit pas à l'environement. Les piles usées seront acceptées gratuitement.
