Preparing to Use Your Computer

Working in Comfort with Your HP

Pavilion PC

Thank you for selecting HP computing equipment.

To optimize your comfort and productivity, it is

important that you set up your work area correctly

and use your HP equipment properly. With that in

mind, we have developed some setup and use

recommendations for you to follow, based on

established ergonomic principles.

Improper and prolonged use of keyboards and input

devices are among those tasks that have been

associated with repetitive strain injury (RSI) to soft

tissues in the hands and arms. If you experience

discomfort or pain while using any computing

equipment, discontinue use immediately and consult

your physician as soon as possible. For more

information on RSI, you may wish to consult About

Repetitive Strain Injury on page 4.

Please study the recommendations offered here and

consult the Information Sources listed on page 24.

Included there are references to relevant parts of

international standards, regulations, and guidelines,

such as ISO 9241 and the European Community

Display Screen Equipment directive. You may also

wish to consult your employers human resources

department or other relevant departments for

guidance specific to your company. For a quick

summary of the recommendations, refer to the

Comfort and Safety Checklist on page 21.

Note that the recommendations and quoted

dimensions in this guide are designed to

accommodate a broad range of people. If you fall

outside this range, you may need to adapt the

recommendations accordingly. For example, if you

are very tall, your work surface may need to be

higher than indicated in this guide.

Thank you, again, for choosing HP computing

equipment.

About Repetitive Strain Injury

Because your comfort and safety are our primary

concern, we strongly recommend that you use HP

computing equipment in accordance with established

ergonomic principles and recommendations.

Scientific literature suggests that there may be a

relationship between injury to soft tissues 

especially in the hands and arms  and prolonged

improper use of keyboards or other equipment

requiring repeated motions of the hands and

forearms. This literature also suggests that there are

many other risk factors that may increase the chance

of such injury, commonly called Repetitive Strain

Injury.

What is RSI?

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI  also known as

cumulative trauma disorder or repetitive motion

injury) is a type of injury where soft tissues in the

body, such as muscles, nerves, or tendons, become

irritated or inflamed. RSI has been a reported

problem for those who perform repetitive tasks such

as assembly line work, meatpacking, sewing, playing

musical instruments, and computer work. RSI also

has been observed in those who frequently engage in

activities such as carpentry, knitting, housework,

gardening, tennis, windsurfing, and lifting children.

Preparing to Use Your Computer

What causes RSI?

The specific causes of RSI have not been established.

Nevertheless, the incidence of RSI has been

associated with a variety of risk factors, including:

•

Too many uninterrupted repetitions of an activity

or motion.

•

Performing an activity in an awkward or

unnatural posture.

•

Maintaining static posture for prolonged periods.

•

Failing to take frequent short breaks.

•

Other environmental and psychosocial factors.

In addition, there have been reports associating the

occurrence of RSI with the use of computer

keyboards, mice, and other input devices. Also,

certain medical conditions, such as rheumatoid

arthritis, obesity and diabetes, may predispose some

people to this type of injury.

What can I do to avoid RSI?

Some people who use computers may experience

physical discomfort during their use. This discomfort

may be a symptom of a repetitive strain injury.

Properly setting up and using computing equipment

can help to minimize your chances of experiencing

this discomfort. Well-designed and properly adjusted

equipment alone may not be sufficient to eliminate

all potential problems. Maintaining good posture and

positioning when working on computers also has a

significant bearing on your comfort.

What if I experience discomfort?

If you are experiencing any discomfort, seek

professional medical advice immediately. Typically,

the earlier a problem is diagnosed and treated, the

easier it is to resolve.

Preparing Your Work Environment

When using HP computing equipment, its important

that your work environment contribute to your

comfort and productivity. To help you achieve the

proper environment, we have developed

recommendations for optimizing your workspace,

seating, work surface, and lighting arrangements.

You, or both you and your employer, can best

determine your specific needs.

Your Workspace

Sufficient workspace should be available to allow

you to set up your equipment in a convenient,

comfortable arrangement.

•

The work environment should be as quiet and

free of distraction as possible.

•

For better eye comfort, you should avoid

reflective coverings on the ceiling, walls, and

floor as well as excessive contrast between the

screen and its surroundings.
