Sony PCG-F160 User Guide

You will be using your notebook computer as a portable device in a 
variety of environments. Whenever possible, you should attempt to 
apply the following ergonomic considerations to both stationary and 
portable environments.

❑

 Place the computer directly in front of 

you as you work. Keep your forearms horizontal, with your wrists in 
a neutral, comfortable position while using the keyboard, touchpad, 
or external mouse. Let your upper arms hang naturally at your sides. 
Take breaks during sessions with your computer. Excessive use of the 
computer may strain muscles or tendons.

❑

 Sit in a chair with good back support and 

armrests. Adjust the level of the chair so your feet are flat on the floor. 
A footrest may make you more comfortable. Sit in a relaxed, upright 
posture and avoid slouching forward or leaning far backward.

❑

 Use the display’s tilting 

feature to find the best position. You can reduce eye strain and muscle 
fatigue by adjusting the tilt of the display to the proper position. 
Adjust the brightness setting of the display also.
