Proper Setup and Placement Tips

It’s important that your computer be set up correctly and

according to your own comfort and ergonomic needs.

The following tips should make your workstation a

comfortable and healthy place:

Monitor Level. Position your computer so that it is at

arm’s length away and the top third of the monitor

viewing area is at eye level. This helps prevent eye and

neck strain. To further reduce eye strain, close your eyes

and refocus on something other than your computer

screen at least twice an hour. Most monitors come

standard with a detachable tilt-and-swivel base and

adjustable, rear-mounted foot, which allow you to

position the monitor exactly where you want it.

You r S ea t . If you plan to use your Aspire computer for

extended periods (for example, in a home office

environment), select a highly adjustable office chair with a

five-pronged base. The seat and chair back should be

adjustable, while you’re sitting in the chair, for height and

tilt, and forward/backward positioning, and the lumbar

area of the back should be supported by the chair

adjustments or a cushion. Arm rests should conform to

your elbow height and shoulder width and should be

used for support. For maximum comfort, vary positions

frequently throughout the day. Observe good posture

when seated, keep your head centered over your

shoulders and, just like your mother always told you,

don’t slump over your work.

Anti-Glare Coating. Some monitor screens are

constructed with a special anti-glare coating, which

minimizes reflections that cause eye strain and

discomfort. To further reduce eye strain, close your eyes

and refocus on something other than your computer

screen at least twice an hour.

Task Lighting . When room lighting is dimmed, there may

be insufficient light on documents or reference materials for

comfortable reading. A well-lit room or a few directional,

adjustable task lights will allow you to see your monitor

screen and other materials clearly, and with the least

amount of strain.

Hand and Wrist. Keep your wrists straight and your

forearms parallel to the floor while you are typing. If you use

a wrist rest, use it only briefly for resting. Do not rest your

hands on the table or on the wrist rest while you are typing.

During long periods of typing, frequent breaks are

recommended.
