General conditions
In general, if you are comfortable, so is your computer, but read the following to
make sure your work site provides a proper environment.
❑ Make sure there is adequate space around the computer for proper ventilation.
❑ Make sure the AC power cord connects to an outlet that is close to the
computer and easily accessible.
❑ The temperature should be 5 to 35 degrees Centigrade (41 to 95 degrees
Fahrenheit) and the relative humidity should be 20 to 80 percent.
❑ Avoid areas where rapid or extreme changes in temperature or humidity may
occur.
❑ Keep the computer free of dust, moisture, and exposure to direct sunlight.
❑ Keep the computer away from heat sources, such as electric heaters.
❑ Do not use the computer near liquids or corrosive chemicals.
❑ Do not place the computer near objects that create strong magnetic fields (e.g.,
stereo speakers).
❑ Some computers in the computer, including data storage media, can be
damaged by magnets. Do not place the computer near magnetic objects or
bring magnetic objects close to the computer. Be careful of objects, such as
stereo speakers, that produce strong magnetic fields during operation. Also, be
careful with metal objects, such as bracelets, which can be inadvertently
magnetized.
❑ Do not operate the computer in close proximity to a mobile phone.
❑ Leave ample ventilation room for the fan. Do not block the vents.
Placement of the computer
Position the computer and peripheral devices to provide comfort and safety.
❑ Set the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable height and distance. The
display should be no higher than eye level to avoid eye strain.
❑ Place the computer so that it is directly in front of you when you work and
make sure you have adequate space to easily operate other devices.
❑ Allow adequate space behind the computer to let you freely adjust the display.
The display should be angled to reduce glare and maximize visibility.
❑ If you use a paper holder, set it at about the same height and distance as the
computer.
