If the room in which you are working has windows, use available blinds,
shades, or drapes to control the amount of direct or reflected light in the
room. Always locate your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 so that the side of the
unit faces the windows, in order to minimize direct, or reflected, glare on
the screen.
Always position the LCD between rows of overhead lights, if possible, to
avoid direct glare.
Always combine the available general and task lighting to best suit your
lighting needs, but avoid placing bright light sources within your field of
vision.
Always use indirect lighting where possible, in order to avoid bright spots
on the LCD.

Vision care

All new users of Toshiba Pocket PCs should have vision tests performed
before undertaking Pocket PC use, and all users should have vision tests
performed periodically thereafter to ensure that they have adequately cor-
rected their vision (if necessary) to satisfactorily handle such work.
An association between bifocal use and vulnerability to neck disorders is
also known to exist. Bifocal use while operating your Toshiba Pocket PC
e830 may result in more head movements from keyboard to screen, a
backward declination of the head, and increased static loading of the neck
muscles, which could cause neck discomfort. The use of bifocals report-
edly may also result in awkward postural adjustments which could cause
further discomfort to the body.
Consequently, all individuals who wear bifocals must have vision tests
performed before beginning Pocket PC work, and must be evaluated peri-
odically by a vision-care specialist, to determine whether their current
lenses are appropriate for your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 work that they
will be performing.

Always wear corrective glasses or contact lenses, where required, to min-
imize eyestrain when using the CRT monitor.

Always position your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 (in relation
to the available sources of light) so that direct glare or
reflected glare will be minimized at the LCD, in order to
maximize visibility.

Always have your eyes examined periodically by a vision
care specialist, to maintain good vision.
