Setup
- The keyboard and mouse should be located at the same height within Zone A.
- Monitors should be located straight in front, at the Zone A/B border, as indicated on the diagram.
- If you use the phone frequently throughout the day, it should be located in Zone A, or on the closer side of Zone B. If you frequently cradle the phone between your ear and shoulder, consider using a headset.
- Less frequently used items should be placed at the back of the worksurface.
- If you refer to papers regularly while typing they should be placed in Zone A. This may require you to use a keyboard tray to locate your keyboard and mouse off of your desk. If you use a document holder, it should be placed at the same viewing distance and as close to the computer monitor as possible. The document holder eliminates the need to change focus when viewing documents while typing.
