Proper Posture

Adjust the heights of desks and chairs appropriate to your height.

The heights are to be adjusted so that your arm forms a right angle when you place your hand over the keyboard while sitting down on a chair.

Battery Usage Time Information

A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it over a long time, the capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced to under half of its initial time, we recommend purchasing a new battery.

When not using the battery for a long time, store the battery after charging it to 30-40% of its capacity. This extends the battery lifetime
