General conditions

In general, if you are comfortable, so is your computer, but read the

following to make sure your work site provides a proper environment.

■

Make sure there is adequate space around the computer for proper

ventilation.

■

Make sure the AC power cord connects to an outlet that is close to the

computer and easily accessible.

■

The temperature should be 5 to 35 degrees Centigrade (41 to 95 degrees

Fahrenheit) and the relative humidity should be 20 to 80 percent.

■

Avoid areas where rapid or extreme changes in temperature or humidity

may occur.

■

Keep the computer free of dust, moisture, and exposure to direct

sunlight.

■

Keep the computer away from heat sources, such as electric heaters.

■

Do not use the computer near liquids or corrosive chemicals.

■

Do not place the computer near objects that create strong magnetic

fields (e.g., stereo speakers).

■

Do not operate the computer in close proximity to a mobile phone.

■

Leave ample ventilation room for the fan. Do not block the vents.

Placement of computer

Position the computer and peripheral devices to provide comfort and safety.

■

Set the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable height and distance.

The display should be no higher than eye level to avoid eye strain.

■

Place the computer so that it is directly in front of you when you work

and make sure you have adequate space to easily operate other

devices.

■

Allow adequate space behind the computer to let you freely adjust the

display. The display should be angled to reduce glare and maximize

visibility.

■

If you use a paper holder, set it at about the same height and distance

as the computer.
