64 Appendix B Safety, Use, and Care Information

You may have to raise your chair so that your forearms and hands are at the proper

angle to the keyboard. If this makes it impossible to rest your feet flat on the floor, you

can use a footrest with adjustable height and tilt to make up for any gap between the

floor and your feet. Or you may lower the desktop to eliminate the need for a footrest.

Another option is to use a desk with a keyboard tray that’s lower than the regular work

surface.

Display

Arrange the display so that the top of the screen is slightly below your eye level when

you’re sitting at the keyboard. The best distance from your eyes to the screen is up to

you, although most people seem to prefer 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm).

Position the display to minimize glare and reflections on the screen from overhead

lights and windows.

Mouse

Position the mouse at the same height as your keyboard and within a comfortable

reach.

Keyboard

When you use the keyboard, your shoulders should be relaxed. Your upper arm and

forearm should form an angle that is slightly greater than a right angle, with your wrist

and hand in roughly a straight line.

Use a light touch when typing and keep your hands and fingers relaxed. Avoid rolling

your thumbs under your palms.

Change hand positions often to avoid fatigue. Some iMac G5 users may develop

discomfort in their hands, wrists, or arms after intensive work without breaks. If you

begin to develop chronic pain or discomfort in your hands, wrists, or arms, consult a

qualified health specialist.
