Arranging
your
workspace
To
get
the
most
from
your
computer,
arrange
both
the
equipment
you
use
and
your
work
area
to
suit
your
needs
and
the
kind
of
work
you
do.
Your
comfort
is
of
foremost
importance,
but
light
sources,
air
circulation,
and
the
location
of
electrical
outlets
can
also
affect
the
way
you
arrange
your
workspace.
Comfort
The
following
guidelines
will
help
you
decide
what
working
position
suits
you
best.
Choose
a
comfortable
chair
to
reduce
fatigue
from
sitting
in
the
same
position
for
long
periods.
The
backrest
and
seat
should
adjust
independently
and
provide
good
support.
The
seat
should
have
a
curved
front
to
relieve
pressure
on
the
thighs.
Adjust
the
seat
so
that
your
thighs
are
parallel
to
the
floor
and
your
feet
are
either
flat
on
the
floor,
or
on
a
footrest.
When
using
the
keyboard,
keep
your
forearms
parallel
to
the
floor
and
your
wrists
in
a
neutral,
comfortable
position.
Try
to
keep
a
light
touch
on
the
keyboard,
and
your
hands
and
fingers
relaxed.
Change
the
angle
of
the
keyboard
for
maximum
comfort
by
adjusting
the
position
of
the
keyboard
feet.
Adjust
the
monitor
so
that
the
top
of
the
screen
is
at,
or
slightly
below,
eye
level.
Place
the
monitor
at
a
comfortable
viewing
distance,
usually
51
to
61
cm
(20
to
24
in.),
and
position
it
so
that
you
can
view
it
without
having
to
twist
your
body.
Glare
and
lighting
Position
the
monitor
to
minimize
glare
and
reflections
from
overhead
lights,
windows,
and
other
light
sources.
Place
the
monitor
at
right
angles
to
light
sources
whenever
possible.
Reduce
overhead
lighting,
if
necessary,
by
turning
off
lights
or
using
lower
wattage
bulbs.
If
you
install
the
monitor
near
a
window,
use
curtains
or
blinds
to
block
the
sunlight.
You
might
have
to
adjust
the
Brightness
and
Contrast
controls
on
the
monitor
as
the
lighting
changes
throughout
the
day.
Where
it
is
impossible
to
avoid
reflections
or
to
adjust
the
lighting,
place
an
antiglare
filter
over
the
screen.
However,
these
filters
might
affect
the
clarity
of
the
screen
image;
try
them
only
after
you
have
exhausted
other
methods
of
reducing
glare.
