Using Your Mobile Computer

Position the computer so your wrists and hands are in a neutral position. Your
wrists should be as straight as possible and should not have to bend sideways or
more than 10 degrees up or down. If your notebook computer does not have a
built-in palm rest, you can use a rolled-up towel.

Try to type as lightly as possible. The notebook keyboard requires little force to
activate.

Take frequent, short rest breaks. This is especially important in a mobile
computing environment.

Portable computers weigh between approximately 1.4 and 3.7 kilos (3 and 8
pounds). When traveling, be sure to carry your computer properly to minimize
strain on your body. Shift the bag containing your notebook equipment
frequently between your left and right hands and shoulders.
