HEALTH WARNING
Use of a keyboard or mouse may be linked to serious injuries or disorders.
When using a computer, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands,
arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent
or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO
NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not working at your computer. Symptoms such as these
can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves,
muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel
syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that
many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including: medical and physical conditions, stress and how
one copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and uses his or her body during work and
other activities (including use of a keyboard or mouse). Some studies suggest that the amount of time a
person uses a keyboard may also be a factor. Some guidelines that may help you work more comfortably
with your computer and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD can be found in the “Healthy
Computing Guide” topic of the “Online User's Guide,” provided with the software program on your CDROM. If you do not have the CD-ROM for this product, you can access the “Healthy Computing Guide”
from http://www.microsoft.com/hardware, or (in the United States, only) call 1-800-360-7561 to request a
CD-ROM at no charge. If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional.
