Advanced Alert Concepts

There are two main alert concepts, "one for rest"  and "one for work":

Rest: A rest period is 45 seconds for the keyboard and 45 seconds for the mouse.

Work: The default thresholds (minutes) for keying and mousing alerts are:

Keyboard Alerts:   For example (at default levels),  if you are keying for 15 minutes, without a 45 second rest, you will receive a "keyboard level one" alert.  If you continue, without a 45 second rest, you'll receive a "keyboard level two" alert after another 5 minutes of keying, and so on.  As explained above, this is designed to bring to your attention that it's time for a brief break from keying.
