Proper Setup and Placement Tips

It's important that your computer be set up correctly and

according to your own comfort and ergonomic needs. The

following tips should make your workstation a comfortable

and healthy place:

Monitor Level. Position your computer so that it is at arm's

length away and the top third of the monitor viewing area is

at eye level. This helps prevent eye and neck strain. To further

reduce eye strain, close your eyes and refocus on something

other than your computer screen at least twice an hour. Most

monitors come standard with a detachable tilt-and-swivel base

and adjustable, rear-mounted foot, which allow you to position

the monitor exactly where you want it.

Your Seat. If you plan to use your Acer computer for extended

periods (for example, in a home office environment), select a

highly adjustable office chair with a five-pronged base. The seat

and chair back should be adjustable, while you're sitting in the

chair, for height and tilt, and forward/backward positioning, and

the lumbar area of the back should be supported by the chair

adjustments or a cushion. Arm rests should conform to your

elbow height and shoulder width and should be used for sup-

port. For maximum comfort, vary positions frequently through-

out the day. Use good posture when seated, keep your head

centered over your shoulders and, just like your mother always

told you, don't slump over your work.

Anti-Glare Coating. Some monitor screens are constructed

with a special anti-glare coating, which minimizes reflections that

cause eye strain and discomfort. To further reduce eye strain,

close your eyes and refocus on something other than your com-

puter screen at least twice an hour .

Task Lighting. When room lighting is dimmed, there may

be insufficient light on documents or reference materials for

comfortable reading. A well-lit room or a few directional,

adjustable task lights will allow you to see your monitor screen

and other materials clearly, and with the least amount of strain.

Hand and Wrist. Keep your wrists straight and your forearms

parallel to the floor while you are typing. If you use a wrist rest,

use it only briefly for resting. Do not rest your hands on the

table or on the wrist rest while you are typing. During long

periods of typing, frequent breaks are recommended.
