Ergonomics Information

This is important information to read before using your ThinkPad

computer.

Working while “on the go” may mean adapting to frequent changes in

your environment. Following some simple “rules of the road” will

make things easier and bring you the maximum benefits of your

ThinkPad computer. Keeping in mind such basics as good lighting

and proper seating, for example, can go a long way in helping you

enhance your performance and achieve greater comfort wherever

you are.

What if I am traveling?

It may not be possible to observe the best ergonomic practices when

you are using the ThinkPad computer while on the move or in a

“casual” setting, such as the seashore or on a mountaintop.

Sometimes, your lap may be the only “desk” around. Regardless of

the setting, try to observe as many of the tips for proper usage as

possible. Sitting properly and using adequate lighting, for example,

will help you maintain desirable comfort and performance levels.

Questions about vision?

IBM's visual display screens are designed to meet the highest

standards and to provide you with clear, crisp images and large,

bright displays that are easy to see, yet easy on the eyes. Of

course, any concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring.

If you have questions on eye fatigue or visual discomfort, consult a

vision care specialist for advice.

Note:

The example shown here of

someone in a traditional setting.

Even when not in such a setting, you

can follow many of these tips.

Develop good habits and they will

serve you well. 4Chair

6Thighs

5Arms

1Head

1 Head

Keep your head in a comfortable

and vertical position.

2 View

Maintain a comfortable viewing

distance of 20–30 inches.

3 Display

Position the display to avoid

glare or reflections from

overhead lighting or outside

sources of light.

Keep the display screen clean

and set the contrast and

brightness to levels that allow

you to see the screen clearly.

4 Chair

Use a chair that gives you good

back support.

5 Arms

Keep your forearms, wrists, and

hands in a relaxed and neutral

position. Don't pound the keys;

type with a soft touch.

6 Thighs

Keep your thighs parallel to the

floor and your feet flat on the

floor or on a footrest.
