Working in Comfort
Thank you for selecting HP computing equipment. To optimize your comfort
and productivity, it is important that you set up your work area correctly and
use your HP equipment properly. With that in mind, we have developed some
set-up and use recommendations for you to follow based on established
ergonomic principles.
3 Working in Comfort
Improper and prolonged use of keyboards and input devices are among those
tasks that have been associated with repetitive strain injury (RSI) to soft
tissues in the hands and arms. If you experience discomfort or pain while
using any computing equipment, discontinue use immediately and consult
your physician as soon as possible. In addition to the information on RSI given
in this chapter, you may also consult the online version of Working in
Comfort preloaded on the hard disk of the your HP computing equipment, or
visit HP’s Working in Comfort web site at:
www.hp.com/ergo.
About Repetitive Strain
Injury
What is RSI?
What causes RSI?
Because your comfort and safety are our primary concern, we strongly
recommend that you use HP computing equipment in accordance with
established ergonomic principles and recommendations. Scientific literature
suggests that there may be a relationship between injury to soft tissues—
especially in the hands and arms—and prolonged improper use of keyboards
or other equipment requiring repeated motions of the hands and forearms.
This literature also suggests that there are many other risk factors that may
increase the chance of such injury, commonly called Repetitive Strain Injury.
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI—also known as cumulative trauma disorder or
repetitive motion injury) is a type of injury where soft tissues in the body, such
as muscles, nerves, or tendons, become irritated or inflamed. RSI has been a
reported problem for those who perform repetitive tasks such as assembly line
work, meatpacking, sewing, playing musical instruments, and computer work.
RSI also has been observed in those who frequently engage in activities such
as carpentry, knitting, housework, gardening, tennis, windsurfing and lifting
children.
The specific causes of RSI have not been established. Nevertheless, the
incidence of RSI has been associated with a variety of risk factors, including:
• Too many uninterrupted repetitions of an activity or motion.
• Performing an activity in an awkward or unnatural posture.
• Maintaining static posture for prolonged periods.
• Failing to take frequent short breaks.
• Other environmental and psychosocial factors.
In addition, there have been reports associating the occurrence of RSI with
the use of computer keyboards, mice, and other input devices. Also, certain
medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, obesity and diabetes, may
predispose some people to this type of injury.

What can I do to avoid
RSI?
What if I experience
discomfort?
Preparing Your Work
Environment
Some people who use computers may experience physical discomfort during
their use. This discomfort may be a symptom of a repetitive strain injury.
Properly setting up and using computing equipment can help to minimize your
chances of experiencing this discomfort. Well-designed and properly adjusted
equipment alone may not be sufficient to eliminate all potential problems.
Maintaining good posture and positioning when working on computers also
has a significant bearing on your comfort.
If you are experiencing any discomfort, seek professional medical advice
immediately. Typically, the earlier a problem is diagnosed and treated, the
easier it is to resolve.
When using HP computing equipment, it is important that your work
environment contribute to your comfort and productivity.
Your Chair It's very important that your chair provides a comfortable sitting position and
offers the following features:
• A stable base, such as five legs with casters. Make sure the casters are
designed for the type of floor you have in your workspace, whether it is bare
or carpeted.
• A height- and tilt-adjustment feature. It should be easy to adjust your
chair height from 40 cm to 52 cm (15.5 inches to 20.5 inches) as measured
from the top of the seat pan to the floor. If you are much taller or shorter
than average, you may need a chair that can be adjusted beyond this range.
Adjust your chair so that the work surface or keyboard tray is at elbow
height and your feet are flat on the floor with your knees slightly bent below
your hips. Ideally, the seat pan should be able to tilt both forward (minimum
of 5 degrees) and backward (minimum of 10 degrees). If the chair has an
adjustable seat pan, inclining the seat slightly forward will transfer some of
the pressure from the spine to the thighs and feet. This will relieve pressure
on your back.
• A curved seat edge. The front of the seat should be curved and finished
in a “waterfall” edge.
• An adjustable back support in both height and forward and
backward tilt. It is important that the backrest correctly supports the
lower part, or lumbar curve, of the back.
• A freely rotating swivel so you can move easily from side-to-side.
• Fully adjustable and padded armrests. The chair arms should not
interfere with adjusting the chair or moving it close to your work surface.

Your Work Surface
Your Work Posture
Ideally, you should be able to adjust the height of your work surface.
A simple way to ensure your work surface is at the correct height is to first
adjust the height of the seat-pan of your chair. With your chair properly
adjusted and your feet firmly on the floor, adjust the work surface height until
your forearms are parallel to the floor when you have your fingers on the
keyboard or other input device.
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the
potential for physical discomfort or injury, it's important that you maintain
proper posture.
• 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 - Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides,
with forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor.
• Wrists - Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the
keyboard, mouse or trackball. They should not be bent sideways, or more
than 10 degrees up or down.
14 English
3 Working in Comfort
• Legs - Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward. Your
lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Your feet should rest
flat on the floor. If necessary, use a footrest, but double check that you have
your seat height adjusted correctly before getting a footrest.
• Head - Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. Avoid
working with your head or trunk twisted.
• Overall - Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid
fatigue.
Setting Up Your HP
Computing Equipment
Your HP Monitor
Make sure that all the elements of your HP computer system—monitor,
document holder, keyboard, mice and other input devices, and headphones
and speakers—are optimally arranged and adjusted to meet your personal
requirements. The recommendations that follow will help you achieve this.
It is important that your monitor screen be clean and positioned correctly to
improve readability and help you work comfortably. Glare, high contrast,
reflections, dirt and dust will interfere with what you see on the screen. The
recommendations that follow can help you achieve a comfortable
arrangement.
• The top of your monitor screen should be at or slightly below eye level. Most
HP monitors come with a tilt-and-swivel feature that makes it easy to adjust
the screen position.
• To avoid obscuring your view, the screen should be positioned
perpendicular to your line of sight; that is, straight on.
• To avoid glare or reflection, try to position the monitor so the screen is at a
right angle to your window rather than in front of it. If reflection or glare
persists, tilting the screen forward may help.
English 15
3 Working in Comfort
• Maintain a comfortable viewing distance to the screen. Most people prefer
a viewing distance of approximately 46 to 76 cm (18 to 30 inches),
depending on monitor size. Character size and the amount of space
available on the work surface can affect this distance.
• Text should be easy to read. To help ease eyestrain, adjust text attributes
such as character size, spacing, and color. In addition, you will need to use
the controls provided with your monitor to adjust the visual settings so that
contrast and brightness levels are comfortable for you. High contrast and
low brightness is usually the preferable combination.
• The monitor should be free from flicker. If the image on your screen is not
stable, the monitor may require repair or adjustment.
• When possible, use a program that has a simple user interface, such as
easily identifiable icons and pull-down menus. Also, screen information
should be displayed in a structured and well-organized way.
Monitor Use
Specifications
• When viewing your monitor, your head should not be tilted more than 15
degrees forward.
• You should not have to look up more than 5 degrees above horizontal or
down more than 30 degrees below horizontal for normal work tasks, such as
typing or reading.
16 English
3 Working in Comfort
Document Holders
Your HP Keyboard
When keying in data from a hard-copy document, placing it in a document
holder rather than on a flat surface will make it easier to read. The following
recommendations should be observed when using a document holder:
• The document holder should be at approximately the same height and
distance from your eyes as the screen, and as close to the monitor as
possible to prevent neck twisting. Some users prefer a document holder
mounted to the monitor while others prefer the document holder
positioned between the screen and keyboard.
• If the primary task is to view documents rather than using the monitor, the
document holder may be placed directly in front of the keyboard with the
monitor slightly to the side.
• To help reduce stress on your neck and prevent eye fatigue, try to minimize
the movement of your head and eyes while using a document holder.

The proper positioning and use of your HP keyboard is important when using
HP computing equipment. Be sure to observe the following recommendations
to optimize your comfort and safety:
• We recommend you place your keyboard in front of the screen or document
holder, whichever is viewed the most. Your HP keyboard has long cables so
you can place it in the position that is most comfortable for you while you
are using your system.
• Because HP keyboards vary in depth, you'll want to be sure that your work
surface or keyboard tray has sufficient room to accommodate your model.
The keyboard tray should be wide enough to hold both the keyboard and
mouse or trackball: 66 to 71 cm (26 to 28 inches).
English 17
3 Working in Comfort
• Your HP keyboard may have a kickstand that can be opened or closed to
raise or lower the keyboard angle. If you are in the correct sitting position
with your elbows at about the same level as the work surface, you may not
need to use it. However, if your elbows are below the work surface, you may
wish to use the kickstand to raise the back of the keyboard.
• An adjustable keyboard tray may be useful if you cannot adjust your chair
or work surface to the proper height for typing. It should adjust in height
from 64 to 76 cm (25 to 30 inches) above the floor and tilt forward and
backward to help you find the most comfortable position. Note that
research has shown that there may be less muscle tension in shoulders and
forearms with the keyboard tilted away from you.
• When using your HP keyboard, remember it takes very little pressure or
force from your fingers to activate the keys. Improper typing style—the use
of too much force—can place unnecessary stress on the tendons and
muscles in your hands, wrists, and forearms.
• Make sure that your hands are in a neutral position when you use your
keyboard. This means that your forearms, wrists, and hands should be in a
straight line.
• The keyboard has a low profile to help prevent excessive bending of your
wrists while typing. Literature suggests that you should not bend your
wrists sideways or more than 10 degrees up or down. Keep your wrists
straight by moving your entire hand and forearm over to use the function
keys or numeric keypad.
Mice and Other Input
Devices
• You may use a palm rest to help keep your hands and wrists in a comfortable
and neutral position when you are not typing. Some HP keyboards come
with an integrated palm rest. If you use a palm rest, see that it is rounded
and padded, and flush in height with the front edge of the keyboard. Note
that your palms—not your wrists—should rest on the palm rest. If you don't
have a palm rest, try not to rest your wrists on a sharp edge, such as a work
surface edge.
18 English
3 Working in Comfort
Various aspects of using mice and other input devices may increase your risk
of discomfort or injury. Observing the following recommendations may reduce
that risk:
• As with the keyboard, try to keep your hand, wrist and forearm in a neutral
position while using your mouse or other input device.
• When using a stylus or light pen with a graphics tablet, don't grip the stylus
tightly. Keep your hand and fingers relaxed and try to maintain a neutral
posture in your hand, wrist and forearm.
• If you use your thumb to rotate the ball on a trackball or spaceball, keep it
in a relaxed, natural shape, and maintain a neutral posture in your hand,
wrist and forearm.
• Hold the mouse gently by draping your fingers over it. Keep your hand
relaxed and fingers loose. Do not grip the mouse tightly.
• It takes very little pressure or force from your fingers to activate the buttons
or scroll wheel on your mouse, scrolling mouse, trackball or other input
device. Using too much force can place unnecessary stress on the tendons
and muscles in your hands, wrists and forearms.
• If you are using a scrolling mouse, be sure to keep your fingers and hand in
a relaxed, neutral position when activating the scroll wheel. Also, this type
of mouse features software that can minimize the number of mouse
movements or button clicks.
• When using a mouse, trackball, stylus and graphics tablet, or other input
device, position it as close to the keyboard as possible, and keep it at the
same level so you do not have to stretch while using it.
• Use a good quality mouse pad to enable the mouse to work most effectively
and reduce unnecessary hand and wrist movements.
• Be sure to keep your mouse and trackball clean. Regular removal of
accumulated dust and dirt helps ensure proper tracking and reduces
unnecessary hand and wrist motions.
English 19
3 Working in Comfort
WARNING If your PC is multimedia or if you add a sound card to your PC, always turn the
volume down before connecting headphones or speakers, to avoid 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 on the headphones, slowly increase the volume until you find a
comfortable listening level. when you can hear comfortably and clearly,
without distortion, leave the volume control in that position.

• Work Surface Height - Adjust either your seat height, work surface or
both, to position the work surface at approximately elbow height.
• Work Surface Arrangement - Make sure frequently used equipment is
within easy reach. For example, if you are primarily using the keyboard,
place it directly in front of you, not to the side. If you are primarily using the
mouse, place it in front of your hand or 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, also
should be considered.
• Monitor - Place your monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or slightly
below, eye level (up to 15 degrees).
• Head - Do not tilt your head forward by more than 15 degrees, and try not
to turn your head toward the side.
20 English
3 Working in Comfort
• 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 arm perpendicular to the floor or slightly forward. 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).
• 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 monitor screen.
• 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
injury.
• Changing tasks frequently will help prevent muscle stiffness. Examples:
alternating between keyboarding, reading, writing, filing, and moving
around in your work environment, helps you maintain a relaxed posture.
Occasionally stretch the muscles in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck and
back. You should stretch at least as often as you take brief task breaks—at
least once every hour.
• Discomfort may be alleviated by using alternative ergonomic designs and
accessories such as ergonomically personalized chairs, palm rests,
keyboard trays, alternative input devices, prescription eyeglasses, antiglare screens, and more. Seek additional information from the sources
available to you, including your employer, doctor, local office supply store,
and the Information Sources listed in the online version of Working in
Comfort, preloaded on the hard disk of your HP computing equipment.
