Before touching the measurement terminal, confirm that it has been discharged
enough. For that, ground and discharge the terminals over 10 seconds after stopping

Working in Comfort
To optimize your comfort and productivity, it is important that you set up your work area
correctly and use your instrument properly. With that in mind, we have developed some
set-up and use recommendations for you to follow based on established ergonomic
principles. 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 the instrument,
discontinue use immediately and consult your physician as soon as possible. For more
information on RSI you may wish to consult the About Repetitive Strain Injury section.
Please study the recommendations described below. Included there are references to
relevant parts of international standards, regulations and guidelines, such as ISO 9241 and
the European Community Display Screen Equipment directive. You may also wish to consult
your employer’s human resources department or other relevant departments for guidance
specific to your company.
About Repetitive Strain Injury
Because your comfort and safety are our primary concern, we strongly recommend that you
use the instrument 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.
What is RSI?
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.
What causes RSI?
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
k
yboards, mice, and other input devices. Also, certain medical conditions, such as
e
rheumatoid arthritis, obesity and diabetes, may predispose some people to this type of
injury.
What if I experience discomfort?
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.
Mice and Other Input Devices
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.
•Try to keep your hand, wrist, and forearm in
or other input device.
•If you use your thumb to rotate the ball on a trackball or spaceball, keep it in a relaxed,
natu
ral shape, and maintain a neutral posture in your hand, wrist, and forearm.
•Hold the mouse gently by draping your fingers ov
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 y
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
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, or other input device, position it as close to the
ke
using it.
•Be sure to keep your mouse and trackball clean. Regular removal of accumulated dust
