– Make sure that you have enough space for all your paperwork and manuals.
A document holder may help to avoid awkward neck movements.
– Adjust your chair and monitor so that you find the most comfortable
position.
– Check that there are no reflections from windows or bright lights; if this is
unavoidable, adjust curtains and blinds or buy an anti-glare cover for your
monitor.
– Make sure you have enough space underneath your desk to move your legs
freely. Try to avoid excessive pressure on the backs of your legs and knees.
A footrest may be helpful.
– The angle of your keyboard and screen can be adjusted to suit your
preference and a space in front is helpful for resting your hands and wrists
while typing.
– Don’t sit for long periods in the same position, change your posture as
often as practicable. Short breaks away from the notebook will help.
Starting Up
Unpack your notebook carefully.
Connect up mouse as shown on the Quick Start Guide.
The power LED on the front of the notebook will light blue when the
notebook is switched on.
Wait for a few moments while the notebook starts up, your notebook will
boot either from the hard disk or network (if connected).
WARNING: The first boot of a new notebook (Setup procedure) must not
be interrupted. If the system is accidentally turned on, do not switch it off
until you reach a suitable point. If you cannot see the display, wait until disk
activity (indicated by the HDD LED) has finished before turning it off.
