The key to avoiding discomfort or injury from strain is to vary 
your activities. If possible, schedule a variety of tasks into your 
working day. Finding ways to break up the routine can reduce 
stress and improve your efficiency.

❖

Take frequent breaks to change position, stretch your muscles, 
and relieve your eyes. A break of two or three minutes every 
half hour is more effective than a long break after several 
hours.

❖

Avoid performing repetitive activities for long periods. 
Intersperse such activities with other tasks.

❖

Focusing your eyes on your computer screen for long periods 
can cause eyestrain. Look away from the computer frequently 
and focus your eyes on a distant object for at least 30 seconds.

Your notebook computer is designed to provide optimum safety 
and ease of use, and to withstand the rigors of travel. You should 
observe certain precautions to further reduce the risk of personal 
injury or damage to the computer.

❖

Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside of the 
computer. 

If the computer is used for long periods, its case can become 
very warm. While the temperature may not feel too hot to the 
touch, if you maintain physical contact with the computer for 
a long time (if you rest the computer on your lap, for 
example), your skin might suffer low-heat injury.

❖

Never apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to 
sharp impacts. Excessive pressure or impact can damage 
computer components or otherwise cause your computer to 
malfunction.
