Using Your PC
Changing tasks frequently will help prevent muscle stiffness. Examples:
•
alternating between keyboarding, reading, writing, filing, and moving
around in your work environment, helps you maintain a relaxed
posture. Occasionally stretch the muscles in your hands, arms,
shoulders, neck and back. You should stretch at least as often as you
take brief task breaks—at least once every hour.
Discomfort may be alleviated by using alternative ergonomic designs
•
and accessories such as ergonomically personalized chairs, palm rests,
keyboard trays, alternative input devices, prescription eyeglasses, anti-
glare screens, and more. Seek additional information from the sources
available to you, including your employer, doctor, local office supply
store, and the Information Sources listed in the online version of
Working in Comfort, preloaded on the hard disk of your HP computing
equipment or available on the HP web site: www.hp.com/ergo.
Using Your PC
Starting Your PC for the First Time
1 First turn on the monitor, then the PC.
2 The software initialization routine starts. If required, the product ID# is
printed on the label which is found on your PC.
3 After the initialization has finished, click OK and the PC will restart.
Stopping Your PC
To stop the PC, first make sure that you have exited all applications and
then use your operating system's shut down command in the Start menu
(for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000 and
Windows XP operating systems).
If you want to force your PC to shut down (for example, after your
operating system has crashed), press and hold the power button for
approximately 5 seconds.
