Using your tablet more comfortably

With the help of all the conveniences and powerful features of your tablet, you can carry your tablet all day
long at many places. Therefore it is important that you remain attentive to good posture, good lighting, and
proper seating to achieve greater comfort with your tablet.

Active sitting and rest breaks

: The longer you sit and work with your tablet, the more important it is to

observe your working posture. Make minor voluntary postural changes and take frequent, short breaks when
you use the tablet for a long time. Your tablet is a light and mobile system; remember that it can easily be
repositioned to accommodate many posture modifications you might wish to make.

Work area setup options

: Familiarize yourself with all of your office furniture so that you know how to adjust

your work surface, seat, and other work tools to accommodate your preferences for comfort. If your work
area is not in an office setting, be sure to take special note of employing active sitting and utilizing work
breaks. There are many ThinkPad product solutions available to help you modify and expand your tablet to
best suit your needs. Explore your options for docking solutions and external products that can provide the
adjustability and features you want. To view some of these options, go to:

Traveling with your tablet

The following tips help you travel more comfortably and securely with your tablet.

Tips on anti-theft and anti-damage

• While it is safe to allow your tablet to go through the x ray machines at airport security stations, it is

important to keep your eyes on the tablet at all times to prevent theft.

• Put your tablet in a protective case when not in use to prevent damage or scratching.

Tips on airline traveling

• If you want to use the wireless service, check with the airline for any restrictions before boarding the

airplane.

• If there are restrictions on the use of tablets with wireless features on an airplane, enable the Airplane

mode. So that all wireless connections are disabled. To enable the Airplane mode, do the following:

1. Tap the wireless-network icon on the taskbar.
