Place you feet flat and naturally on the floor, so that your knees and elbows have the proper position (about 90-degree) when operating.

Put your hands on the desk naturally to support your wrists. Avoid using your PC in a place where discomfort may occur (such as on the bed). The PC is an electrical device. Please treat it with great care to avoid personal injury.
