Keyboard and Mouse Devices: Health Warning

Use of a keyboard or mouse may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. As in many activities, when using a computer you may experience occasional discomfort in various parts of your body. However, do not ignore symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation or stiffness. Promptly see a qualied doctor, even if symptoms occur when you are not working at your computer.

There is general consensus among researchers that there may be many factors linked to the occurrence of these symptoms, including overall health, stress, physical condition and how a person positions and uses his or her body during work and other activities (including the use of a keyboard or mouse). The amount of time a person spends performing an activity may also be a factor. If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities or physical condition may be related to these symptoms, see a qualied health professional.

Wireless Devices

Remove the batteries from any wireless device, or turn it off, before boarding an aircraft or packing the device in luggage that will be checked. Wireless devices can transmit radio frequency (RF) energy whenever batteries are installed and the device is turned on.

AC-Powered Devices

Failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from electric shock or re, or in damage to the device.

Use only the power supply unit and AC power cord that came with your device • or from an authorized repair center. Conrm that your electrical outlet provides the type of power indicated on the power supply unit in terms of voltage (V) and frequency (Hz). If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult a qualied electrician.

Avoid non-standard power sources, such as generators or inverters, even if the • voltage and frequency appear acceptable. Only use AC power provided by a standard wall outlet.

Do not overload your wall outlet, extension cord, power strip or other electrical • receptacle. Conrm that they are rated to handle the total current drawn by the device and any other devices on the same circuit.

Protect the power cords from being walked on. Protect cords from being • pinched or sharply bent, particularly where they connect to the power outlet, the power supply unit and the device. Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend or otherwise abuse the power cords. Do not expose the power cords to heat sources.

Keep children and pets away from the power cords. Do not allow them to bite • or chew on the cords.

When disconnecting the power cords, pull on the plug; do not pull on the cord.•

If a power cord or power supply becomes damaged in any way, stop using it immediately. Unplug your device during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
