HealtHealtHealtHealtHealth Wh Wh Wh Wh WarararararningningningningningUse of a keyboard or pointing device may be linked to serious injuries or disorders.When using a computer, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoul-ders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort,pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS.PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not working at your com-puter. Symptoms such as these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disordersof the nerves, muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tun-nel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and other conditions.While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that many factorsmay be linked to their occurrence, including: medical and physical conditions, stress and how one copes with it, overallhealth, and how a person positions and uses his or her body during work and other activities (including use of a keyboardor pointing device). Some studies suggest that the amount of time a person uses a keyboard may also be a factor. Someguidelines that may help you work more comfortably with your computer and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing anMSD can be found in the “Healthy Computing Guide” topic of the User’s Guide provided with each software program onyour CD-ROM. If you do not have the CD-ROM for this product, you can access the “Healthy Computing Guide” athttp://www.microsoft.com/hardware/, or (in the United States only) call 1-800-360-7561 to request a CD-ROM at nocharge. If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related toMSDs, see a qualified health professional.AAAAAbout Ybout Ybout Ybout Ybout Your Rights and Obligour Rights and Obligour Rights and Obligour Rights and Obligour Rights and ObligationsationsationsationsationsThis Microsoft® wireless suite is comprised of a keyboard, mouse, and receiver and is sold as a single unit and may not beseparated for use on more than one computer.
