More information on how to prepare your workspace environment and set up your HP equipment is available in Working in Comfort, which is preloaded on the hard disk in the HP Library and available on the Recovery CD in \hp\Libraryas well as at www.hp.com/ergo. Your Mobile Work Environment

Use a chair that provides good support for your lower back. If an adjustable chair is not available, you can use a pillow or rolled-up towel to provide lower back support.

Try to keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor. In a mobile environment, you can do this by using a phone book or briefcase to support your feet.

Adjust the height of either your work surface or chair to keep your arms in a neutral position. Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows at your sides, with the forearms and hands parallel with the floor.

Position your notebook computer display to minimize glare and reflection. For example, on an airplane, lower the window shade, or in a hotel room, draw the curtains. You also should maintain a comfortable viewing distanceapproximately 40 to 60 cm (16 to 24 inches). Adjust the angle of your display to help keep your head angled slightly downward in a comfortable position. Startup Guide 35 Basic Operation Working in Comfort with a Notebook PC Using Your Mobile Computer

Position the computer so your wrists and hands are in a neutral position. Your wrists should be as straight as possible and should not have to bend sideways or more than 10 degrees up or down. If your notebook computer does not have a built-in palm rest, you can use a rolled-up towel.

Try to type as lightly as possible. The notebook keyboard requires little force to activate.

Take frequent, short rest breaksthis is especially important in a mobile computing environment.

Portable computers weigh between approximately 1.4 and 3.7 kilos (3 and 8 pounds). When traveling, be sure to carry your computer properly to minimize strain on your body. Shift the bag containing your notebook equipment frequently between your left and right hands and shoulders. 36 Startup Guide Batteries and Power Management Startup Guide 37 Batteries and Power Management Using Battery Power Using Battery Power For information about how your computer regulates its power consumption, and how you can manually reduce power consumption and extend the life of the computers battery, see the chapter titled Batteries and Power Management in the online Reference Guide.
