4 - Tips and information for comfortable use




                 T IP S            AND INFORMATION FOR
                                  COMFORTABLE USE

          Important
          Some of the information in this guide may not apply to your computer.

          Computer users may complain of eyestrain and headaches after
          prolonged use. Users are also at risk of physical injury after long
          hours of working in front of a computer. Long work periods, bad
          posture, poor work habits, stress, inadequate working conditions,
          personal health and other factors greatly increase the risk of physical
          injury.
          Incorrect computer usage may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome,
          tendonitis, tenosynovitis or other musculoskeletal disorders. The
          following symptoms may appear in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders,
          neck or back:
          • Numbness, or a burning or tingling sensation.
          • Aching, soreness or tenderness.
          • Pain, swelling or throbbing.
          • Stiffness or tightness.
          • Coldness or weakness.
          If you have these symptoms, or any other recurring or persistent
          discomfort and/or pain related to computer use, consult a physician
          immediately and inform your company's health and safety
          department.
          The following section provides tips for more comfortable computer
          use.

 Finding your comfort zone
          Find your comfort zone by adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor,
          using a footrest, or raising your sitting height to achieve maximum
          comfort. Observe the following tips:
          • Refrain from staying too long in one fixed posture.


                                                 Tips and information for comfortable use - 5



   • Avoid slouching forward and/or leaning backward.
   • Stand up and walk around regularly to remove the strain on your leg
     muscles.
   • Take short rests to relax your neck and shoulders.
   • Avoid tensing your muscles or shrugging your shoulders.
   • Install the external display, keyboard and mouse properly and within
     comfortable reach.
   • If you view your monitor more than your documents, place the
     display at the center of your desk to minimize neck strain.

Taking care of your vision
   Long viewing hours, wearing incorrect glasses or contact lenses,
   glare, excessive room lighting, poorly focused screens, very small
   typefaces and low-contrast displays could stress your eyes. The
   following sections provide suggestions on how to reduce eyestrain.
   Eyes
   • Rest your eyes frequently.
   • Give your eyes regular breaks by looking away from the monitor and
      focusing on a distant point.
   • Blink frequently to keep your eyes from drying out.
   Display
   • Keep your display clean.
   • Keep your head at a higher level than the top edge of the display so
      your eyes point downward when looking at the middle of the display.
   • Adjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level
      for enhanced text readability and graphics clarity.
   • Eliminate glare and reflections by:
      • placing your display in such a way that the side faces the window
        or any light source,
      • minimizing room light by using drapes, shades or blinds,
      • using a task light,
      • changing the display's viewing angle,
      • using a glare-reduction filter,


6 - Tips and information for comfortable use



              • using a display visor, such as a piece of cardboard extended from
                the display's top front edge.
              • Avoid adjusting your display to an awkward viewing angle.
              • Avoid looking at bright light sources for extended periods of time.

 Developing good work habits
          The following work habits make computer use more relaxing and
          productive:
          • Take short breaks regularly and often.
          • Perform some stretching exercises.
          • Breathe fresh air as often as possible.
          • Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy body.

          Warning
          We do not recommend using the computer on a couch or bed. If this is
          unavoidable, work for only short periods, take breaks regularly, and do
          some stretching exercises.

 Protecting your hearing

          Warning
          Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or
          headphones are used at high volume for prolonged periods of
          time.

          To protect your hearing, follow these instructions.
          • Increase the volume gradually until you can hear clearly and
            comfortably.
          • Do not increase the volume level after your ears have adjusted.
          • Do not listen to music at high volumes for extended periods.
          • Do not increase the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
          • Decrease the volume if you can't hear people speaking near you.

10 - Basic care and tips for using your computer



Battery and adapter information
 Accessing the power
          Be sure that the power outlet you plug into is easily accessible and
          located as close to the equipment operator as possible. When you
          need to disconnect power to the equipment, be sure to unplug from
          the electrical outlet.

 Disconnecting the power source
          Observe the following guidelines when connecting and disconnecting
          power to the power supply unit:
          Install the power supply unit before connecting to the AC power outlet.
          Unplug before removing the power supply unit from the computer.
          If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from
          the system by unplugging all power cords from the power supplies.

 Guidelines for safe battery usage

          Warning
          Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not disassemble or
          dispose of them in fire.
          Do not tamper with batteries. Keep them away from children.
          Follow local regulations when disposing of used batteries.


          Important
          Replace the battery with the same type as that which came bundled with
          your product. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or
          explosion.

          This notebook uses a Lithium battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet or
          corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or
          near a heat source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct
          sunlight, in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container, and do
          not expose it to temperatures over 60° C (140° F).
          Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the battery to leak acid,
          become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. Do
          not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and
          you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with
          water and seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons,
          and to prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at
          temperatures below 0° C (32° F) or above 40° C (104° F).
          The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or
          three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be
          charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear
          out. When the operation time becomes noticeably shorter than
          normal, buy a new battery. Use only the approved batteries, and
          recharge your battery only with the approved chargers designated for
          this device.
          Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger
          or battery that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental
          short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or
          pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-)
          terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.)
          This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in


                                              Basic care and tips for using your computer - 13



your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the
battery or the connecting object.
The capacity and lifetime of the battery will be reduced if the battery is
left in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter.
Always try to keep the battery between 15° C and 25° C (59° F and
77° F). A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily,
even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is
especially limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries
may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as
household waste.
Wireless devices may be susceptible to interference from the battery,
which could affect performance.

Note
Please refer to www.acer.com for battery shipping documents.

Use on aircraft

   Warning
   FCC and FAA regulations may prohibit airborne operation of radio-
   frequency wireless devices (wireless adapters) because their signals
   could interfere with critical aircraft instruments. Ask the cabin crew
   before turning on your device’s wireless adapter whilst on board.


The wireless adapter and your health
   The wireless adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency
   electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by the wireless
   adapter, however, is less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by
   other wireless devices such as mobile phones. The wireless adapter
   operates within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety
   standards      and     recommendations.    These     standards     and
   recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community
   and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists
   who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.
   In some situations or environments, the use of the wireless adapter
   may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible
   representatives of the applicable organization. Examples of such
   situations may include:
   • Using the wireless adapter on board airplanes, or
   • Using the wireless adapter in any other environment where the risk
      of interference with other devices or services is perceived or
      identified as being harmful.
   If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless
   adapters in a specific organization or environment (an airport, for
   example), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the
   adapter before you turn it on.

USA — FCC and FAA
   The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety
   standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
   energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The wireless adapter
   meets the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65,

            antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of the body,
            especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
          • Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the
            antenna is connected; this behavior may cause damage to the
            radio.
          • The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the
            constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
          • The use of wireless adapters on airplanes is governed by the
            Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
