Important Ergonomic Information
Improper and prolonged use of keyboards and input devices can be associated with
repetitive strain injury (RSI) to soft tissues in the hands and arms. If you do experience
discomfort or pain while using any computing equipment, discontinue use immediately
and consult your physician as soon as possible.
Your comfort and safety are our primary concern. Consequently, we strongly
recommend that you read HP’s ergonomic information before using your PC. For
detailed information, refer to HP’s online version of “Working in Comfort” which is
preloaded on your PC’s hard disk or visit HP’s Working in Comfort Web Site at:
www.hp.com/ergo
A summary is provided in the “Comfort and Safety Checklist” on page 8.

WARNING
To avoid electrical shock and harm to your eyes by laser light, do not open the laser
module. The laser module should only be serviced by service personnel. Do not attempt
to make any adjustment to the laser unit. Refer to the label on the CD-ROM for power
requirements and wavelength. This product is a class 1 laser product.
Always turn the volume down before connecting the headphones or speakers. This
avoids discomfort from unexpected noise or static. Listening to loud sounds for
prolonged periods of time may permanently damage your hearing. Before putting on
headphones, place them around your neck and turn the volume down. When you put the
headphones on, slowly increase the volume until you find a comfortable listening level.
When you are able to hear comfortably and clearly, without distortion, leave the volume
in that position.

Preparing Your Work Environment
When using HP computing equipment, it is important that your work
environment contributes to your comfort and productivity:
Document Holder
Keyboard
<15°
Thigh
Clearance
≥
6cm
Work Surface Height - Your work surface should be height adjustable.
•
Keyboard Height
64-76 cm
To ensure that your worksurface is at the correct height, first adjust the
height of your chair so that your feet are firmly on the floor, then adjust
the work surface height until your forearms are parallel to the floor
when you have your fingers on the keyboard or other input devices.
Chair - Your chair should provide a comfortable sitting position
•
including features such as a height and tilt adjustment feature, curved
seat edge, a stable base (for example, five legs and castors, adjustable
back support, a freely rotating swivel, fully adjustable padded arm
rests).
Monitor - Place your monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or
•
slightly below, eye level (up to 15 degrees).
Work Surface Arrangement - Make sure that all elements of your HP
•
PC system for example, monitor, document holder, keyboard, mice and
other input devices, and headphones and speakers- are optimally
arranged and adjusted to meet your personal requirements. For
example, if you are primarily using the keyboard, place it directly in
front of you, not to the side. If your work involves extensive use of a
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

rest is used, the height should be flush with the front edge of the
keyboard. Other items, such as your telephone or notepad, should also
be considered.

Comfort and Safety Checklist
Caution
Various aspects of using mice, keyboards and other input devices may increase your risk of
discomfort or injury. Optimize your comfort and safety by positioning these devices properly.
Your Work Posture
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize
the potential risk for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you
maintain a proper posture.
Head - When viewing your monitor, your head should not be tilted more
•
than 15 degrees forward, and do not turn your head toward either side.
Back - While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is
•
supported by the chair's backrest in an erect position or angled slightly
backwards.
Arms - Make sure your arms and elbows are relaxed and loose, with
•
your upper arms perpendicular to the floor or tilted downward not more
than 15 degrees. Keep your forearms and hands approximately parallel
with the floor with elbows bent between 70 and 115 degrees. Keep your
elbows close to your sides (less than 20 degrees away from your body).
Hands, Wrists, Forearms - Try to keep your hands wrists and forearms
•
in a relaxed neutral position when using your mouse keyboard or other
input devices. For example, while using your keyboard and mouse, rest
your forearms (flat) on your desktop.
Legs - Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward.
•
Your lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Make sure
there is sufficient room under the work surface for your legs.
Feet - If after adjusting your chair you cannot rest your feet comfortably
•
on the floor, use a footrest, preferably one that can be adjusted in height
and angle.
Overall
Look away from the screen from time-to-time to help reduce eyestrain.
•
Focus on distant objects briefly, and blink periodically to lubricate your
eyes. You also should have your eyes checked on a regular basis and
ensure your eyeglass prescription is suitable for working on a computer
monitor.
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.
Data show that people who work for long periods of time without a
break may be more prone to ergonomic injury.
