Keyboard and Mouse Devices: Health Warning
Use of a keyboard or mouse may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. As
in many activities, when using a computer you may experience occasional
discomfort in various parts of your body. However, do not ignore symptoms
such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling,
numbness, burning sensation or stiffness. Promptly see a qualied doctor, even if
symptoms occur when you are not working at your computer.
There is general consensus among researchers that there may be many factors
linked to the occurrence of these symptoms, including overall health, stress,
physical condition and how a person positions and uses his or her body during
work and other activities (including the use of a keyboard or mouse). The amount
of time a person spends performing an activity may also be a factor. If you have
questions about how your own lifestyle, activities or physical condition may be
related to these symptoms, see a qualied health professional.
AC-Powered Devices
Failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from
electric shock or re, or in damage to the device.
Use only the power supply unit and AC power cord that came with your•
device or from an authorized repair center. Conrm that your electrical outlet
provides the type of power indicated on the power supply unit in terms of
voltage (V) and frequency (Hz). If you are not sure of the type of power
supplied to your home, consult a qualied electrician.
Avoid non-standard power sources, such as generators or inverters, even•
if the voltage and frequency appear acceptable. Only use AC power
provided by a standard wall outlet.
Do not overload your wall outlet, extension cord, power strip or other•
electrical receptacle. Conrm that they are rated to handle the total current
drawn by the device and any other devices on the same circuit.
Protect the power cords from being walked on. Protect cords from being•
pinched or sharply bent, particularly where they connect to the power outlet,
the power supply unit and the device. Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend or
otherwise abuse the power cords. Do not expose the power cords to heat
sources.
Keep children and pets away from the power cords. Do not allow them to•
bite or chew on the cords.
When disconnecting the power cords, pull on the plug; do not pull on the•
cord.
If a power cord or power supply becomes damaged in any way, stop using it
immediately. Unplug your device during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
