Your HP Keyboard
The proper positioning and use of your HP keyboard is important when
using HP computing equipment. Be sure to observe the following
recommendations to optimize your comfort and safety:
• We recommend you place your keyboard in front of the screen or
document holder, whichever is viewed the most. Your HP keyboard
has long cables so you can place it in the position that is most
comfortable for you while you are using your system.
• Because HP keyboards vary in depth, you'll want to be sure that your
work surface or keyboard tray has sufficient room to accommodate
your model. The keyboard tray should be wide enough to hold both
the keyboard and mouse or trackball: 66 to 71 cm (26 to 28 inches).
• Your HP keyboard may have a kickstand that can be opened or closed
to raise or lower the keyboard angle. If you are in the correct sitting
position with your elbows at about the same level as the work
surface, you may not need to use it. However, if your elbows are
below the work surface, you may wish to use the kickstand to raise
the back of the keyboard.
• An adjustable keyboard tray may be useful if you cannot adjust your
chair or work surface to the proper height for typing. It should adjust
in height from 64 to 76 cm (25 to 30 inches) above the floor and tilt
forward and backward to help you find the most comfortable
position. Note that research has shown that there may be less muscle
tension in shoulders and forearms with the keyboard tilted away
from you.
