Operating the OmniBook
Working in Comfort
Reference Guide 39
• Wrists: Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the keyboard,
mouse or trackball. They should not be bent sideways, or more than 10 degrees up or
down.
• Legs: Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward. Your lower legs
should be near a right angle to your thighs. Your feet should rest flat on the floor. If
necessary, use a footrest, but double check that you have your seat height adjusted
correctly before getting a footrest.
• Head: Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. Avoid working with
your head or trunk twisted.
• Overall: Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid fatigue.

Your HP Monitor
It is important that your monitor screen be clean and positioned correctly to improve
