If you spill liquid into the computer, turn it off, unplug it from
the AC power source, and let it dry out completely before
turning it on again.
If the computer does not operate correctly after you turn it back
on, contact your network administrator. If your computer still
does not operate, refer to

Keeping yourself comfortable
Strain and stress injuries are becoming more common as
people spend more time using their computers. With a little
care and proper use of the equipment, you can work
comfortably throughout the day.
Using the computer keyboard incorrectly may result in
discomfort and possible injury. If your hands, wrists, and/or
arms bother you while typing, stop using the computer and
rest. If the discomfort persists, consult a physician.
This section provides hints on avoiding strain and stress
injuries. For more information, consult books on ergonomics,
repetitive-strain injury, and repetitive-stress syndrome.
