Hypertec Ergo-Top User manual

Your ultimate office laptop station
Ergo-Top
The use of laptop computers certainly make our lives easier. This convenience
however comes with a drawback. Due to the low positioning of the laptop
screen and the fixated keyboard, most laptop users maintain a hunched-over
body posture while working. However practical the laptop PC may be, it is, from
an ergonomic point of view, not desirable to use it for extended periods of time.
The Ergo-Top provides the perfect solution for this problem and provides a true
ergonomic workstation. By placing your laptop on the Ergo-Top, you can adjust
its height so that the monitor level is both comfortable and safe. The Ergo-Top
also includes a document holder, which conveniently positions documents just
below the laptop screen to minimize undue head and neck motion. By using the
Ergo-Top in combination with a separate keyboard and mouse you can easily
create an ergonomic workstation!

Legal requirements for laptop computing
By European legislation, employers are obliged to
take proper measurements to prevent physical
discomforts among their employees. Separate from
the screen the keyboard needs to be both tiltable and
freely movable to allow a comfortable working
position avoiding fatigue in the arms and hands. In
addition one must be able to increase the height of
the screen by placing a support underneath the
monitor. The document holder requires to be stable,
adjustable, and positioned so as to minimize
uncomfortable head and eye movements. These
guidelines do not only apply to desktop computers but
also to laptop computer stations. Hence without
additional precautions intensive laptop use is
prohibited. In some European countries, e.g. the
Netherlands, laptop use for a period of more than
two hours per day is forbidden. Using an Ergo-Q in
combination with an external keyboard complies with
legal workplace requirements and the laptop user is
no longer restricted to two hours per day of laptop
usage.
Scientific research
Recent studies in Sweden and the Netherlands show
that working with the Ergo-Q results in significant
improved body posture, more comfort, less
musculoskeletal pain and injuries and higher
productivity.
