Where to put the Intel Wireless Series Base Station
Y ou can put the Intel Wireless Series Base Station anywhere
on your desktop. You don’t have to place t he Base Sta tion in
clear view of the Intel Wireless Series peripherals connected
to it.
Because the Base Station is a 900 MHz radio-based device,
we recommend that you do not put the Base Station near the
receiving unit for other 900 MHz cordless home appliances,
such as cordless phones, baby monitors, wireless speakers
and wireless headphones.
If you experience interference with your cordless phone or
other cordless device, page 45 has several suggestions for
reducing interference.

Caution!
Although the data are inconclusive, some
experts believe that using a keyboard in certain ways (e.g.
excessive keying forces, p oor posture, impro per workstatio n
set up, and/or repetitive, extended typing) may be associated
with some forms of acute sprains/strains or chronic upper
extremity musculoskeletal disorders. If at any time you
experience pain, soreness, numbness, tingling, throbbing,
aching, stiffness, weakness or a burning sensation in your
hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck or back, promptly
consult a qualified health professional.
Do not ignore these
warning signs; they may indicate the presence of a
serious medical condition.
To increase your comfort and minimize the potential for
injury when using a keyboard, follow these guidelines:
• Place the keyboard within comfortable reach;
avoid over-extending to reach the keyboard.
• Adjust your position relative to the keyboard so
that your wrists and forearms are straight and
parallel to the floor. This may mean adjusting your
chair, your computer table or desk (if adjustable),
and, if you us e on e, your keyboard tray.
• When you type, keep your wrists straight and avoid
placing them on the palm rest pad. Use the palm
rest to rest your hands only when you ar en't typing.
• Take frequent breaks from using the keyboard, at
least once per hour.
• Vary your tasks throughout the day.
