Guidelines For Using Laptops |

|
Only use a laptop where absolutely necessary. Use at a conventional workstation where possible. Position user and screen to minimize glare (the screen should be directly in your line of sight). Be aware of windows and position yourself accordingly to avoid glare. Avoid working on easy chairs and sofas. Make sure your laptop screen stays legible by cleaning it regularly.
Working in Cars Avoid working on your laptop in the driver's seat. Sit in the front passenger seat. Push the seat right back to give yourself maximum leg room. Place the laptop on a brief case or flat, stable item to raise it to a better height.
Working on a Train Avoid working in seats with tables attached to the rear of the seat in front of you. Seats at communal tables provide better height and more space. It may be easier to work with the laptop pushed in front of you a little.
General Tips Get the most out of your batteries by following the suggested charging program so that you don't have to carry spares around with you. Minimize what you have to carry with your laptop. Make good use of bags to ensure that you carry things evenly Make sure that your connecting phone cable is long enough so you can position the laptop where you want it to be.
