Clean your computer
CAUTION:
Remove any media from the drives and turn off all connected devices and the
computer. Then, disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets and
disconnect all cables that are connected to the computer.
It is a good practice to clean your computer periodically to protect the
surfaces and ensure trouble-free operation.
Clean the computer surface: Wipe it with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild
soap and water. Avoid applying liquids directly to the surface.
Clean the keyboard: Wipe the keys one by one with a lint-free cloth dampened
in mild soap and water. If you wipe several keys at a time, the cloth might
hook onto an adjacent key and possibly damage it. Avoid spraying cleaner
directly onto the keyboard. To remove any crumbs or dust from beneath the
keys, you can use a camera blower with a brush or use cool air from a hair
dryer.
Clean the computer screen: Scratches, oil, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet
light can affect the performance of your computer screen. Use a dry, soft
lint-free cloth to wipe the screen gently. If you see a scratchlike mark on
your screen, it might be a stain. Wipe or dust the stain gently with a soft,
dry cloth. If the stain remains, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water or
eyeglass cleaner, but do not apply liquids directly to your computer screen.
Ensure that the computer screen is dry before closing it.

Ergonomic information
Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal
computer and to avoid discomfort.
Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your individual needs
and the kind of work that you perform. In addition, use healthy work habits to
maximize your performance and comfort when using your computer.
Working in the virtual office might mean adapting to frequent changes in your
environment. Adapting to the surrounding light sources, active seating, and
the placement of your computer hardware, can help you improve your performance
and achieve greater comfort.
This example shows someone in a conventional setting. Even when not in such a
setting, you can follow many of these tips. Develop good habits, and they will
serve you well.
General posture: Make minor modifications in your working posture to
deter the onset of discomfort caused by long periods of working in the same
position. Frequent short breaks from your work also help to prevent minor
discomfort associated with your working posture.
Display: Position the display to maintain a comfortable viewing distance
of 510 mm to 760 mm (20 inches to 30 inches). Avoid glare or reflections on
the display from overhead lighting or outside sources of light. Keep the
display screen clean and set the brightness to levels that enable you to see
the screen clearly. Press the brightness control keys to adjust display
brightness.
Head position: Keep your head and neck in a comfortable and neutral
(vertical, or upright) position.
Chair: Use a chair that gives you good back support and seat height
adjustment. Use chair adjustments to best suit your comfort posture.
Arm and hand position: If available, use chair arm rests or an area on
your working surface to provide weight support for your arms. Keep your
forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed and neutral (horizontal) position.
Type with a soft touch without pounding the keys.
Leg position: Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat
on the floor or on a footrest.
What if you are traveling?
It might not be possible to observe the best ergonomic practices when you are
using your computer while on the move or in a casual setting. Regardless of
the setting, try to observe as many of the tips as possible.
Sitting properly and using adequate lighting, for example, helps you maintain
desirable levels of comfort and performance. If your work area is not in an
office setting, ensure to take special note of employing active sitting and
taking work breaks. Many product solutions are available to help you modify
and expand your computer to best suit your needs. You can find some of these
options at https://www.lenovo.com/accessories. Explore your options for
docking solutions and external products that provide the adjustability and
features that you want.
Questions about vision?
The visual display screens of notebook computers are designed to meet the
highest standards. These visual display screens provide you with clear, crisp
images and large, bright displays that are easy to see, yet easy on the eyes.
Any concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring. If you have
questions on eye fatigue or visual discomfort, consult a vision-care
specialist for advice.
