Arm Supports And A Palm Rest - HP Compaq Presario,Presario 17XL579 Supplementary Manual

Arm Supports
You may find that supports for your forearms or hands allow you to be more relaxed and
and a Palm Rest comfortable.
Using arm supports
Some chairs and desks provide padded areas for resting your arms. You may find it
comfortable to rest the middle of your forearms on these supports while typing, pointing, or
pausing. Arm supports are properly adjusted when your shoulders are in a comfortable
position and your wrists are straight.
Using a palm rest
A palm rest is designed to provide support during pauses, not during typing or pointing.
While typing or using a pointing device, keep wrists free to move, not anchored or resting on
a palm rest, the desk, or your thighs.
