• Adjust the keyboard and chair height so your elbows are near your body,
your forearms are parallel to the floor, and your upper arms hang naturally
at your sides.

• Adjust the keyboard slope so that your wrists are in a natural, straight
position while typing.

• Keep your fingers relaxed. Do not strike the keys with excessive force.

• Do not overextend fingers or bend your wrists unnaturally to hit hard-to­reach keys. Instead, move your whole arm.

DON’T DO DON’T

Your hands and wrists should be in a neutral position. Your wrist should not
bend too much to one side or the other.

DON’T DO DON’T

You may be more comfortable typing with your wrists floating slightly
above the keyboard.

Important: Computer User Health Information

In recent years, medical attention on occupational injuries has identified
normal, seemingly harmless activities as a potential cause of a wide range of
problems collectively known as Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) or Cumulative
Trauma Disorders (CTD). It is now recognized that any repetitive motion
may contribute to these health problems. As a computer user, you might
also be at risk.

By paying attention to the way you perform your work, use your computer and
phone, play sports, and work around the house, you can identify the behaviors
that may be putting you at risk. If you experience pain, swelling, numbness, or
weakness in your wrists or hands (especially during sleep), see your physician
immediately. These symptoms could mean that you are developing a repetitive
stress injury that requires prompt medical attention. For more detailed infor­mation, consult your doctor or a reputable book.

HEALTH WARNING: Use of a keyboard or pointing device may be linked to
serious injuries or disorders. Please visit www.healthycomputing.com or

Using your Kensington PilotBoard Wireless Desktop

Many factors go into creating a comfortable workspace, including proper
placement and adjustment of furniture and equipment, lighting, and other
environmental considerations.

• Computing is more comfortable and your body is more relaxed with the
keyboard placed directly in front of you.
