Using Your Computer Safely
Your handheld computer has been ergonomically designed for comfortable and safe use. However, as
with all equipment, you should pay attention to good working practices while using it.
Some people may experience discomfort while using computers. If ignored, this discomfort may
sometimes lead to
Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI),
which is also known as
cumulative trauma disorder
or
repetitive motion injury
. You can minimise the risk by following these guidelines:
z
Pay attention to your posture. Keep your fingers and body relaxed whenever possible.
z
Avoid keeping your muscles tense for long periods. Change your tasks often to avoid prolonged
muscle strain. Support the handheld computer while you are using it.
z
Reduce eyestrain by adjusting the
backlight settings
properly for your working environment. Look
away from the screen periodically and focus your eyes on distant objects. Have your eyes checked
regularly.
