Using the OmniBook Keyboard
WARNING
Improper use of keyboards and other input devices has been associated with
ergonomic injury. For information about reducing your risk, see Working in
Comfort in the online OmniBook Library, or visit our ergonomics website,
http://www.hp.com/ergo.
If you are using your portable computer as your primary computer, or using it for
extended periods, you should use it with a full-size keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
This can reduce the risk of ergonomic injury. See Working in Comfort in the online
OmniBook Library.
