WARNING! To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to your
equipment:
• Place the computer in a location away from water, dust, moisture, and soot. These can increase the inside temperature, or can cause fire or electrocution.
• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
• Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
• Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet. To prevent direct exposure to laser beam, do not try to open the enclosure of the CD or DVD drives.

Using Beats Audio™ (select models only)
Your HP TouchSmart PC features audio connectors (headphone and Audio Out ) that are optimized for Beats Audio™ headphones and external audio systems (purchased separately). Select HP TouchSmart PC models also include four Beats­optimized internal speakers and a Beats toggle button
Your computer comes ready for you to experience music with Beats enabled. To disable Beats, press the Beats toggle button; the Beats-off icon appears on the screen. To turn Beats on, press the Beats toggle button again. If your keyboard does not contain the Beats toggle button, press Fn+B to enable and disable Beats. Tap the Beats icon on the system tray to view the Beats user interface.
All you need to do is plug the Beats Audio headphones into the side headphone connector to experience crisp and clear sound separation. To experience the full capability of BEATS audio using the internal speakers, HP recommends connecting a matching HP subwoofer to the Sub connector on the back panel. If you are using an external audio system, plug it into the Audio Out connector on the back panel.
Using the HDMI port controls (select models only)
The right side of your computer may contain an HDMI port and volume control buttons. Unless a device is plugged into the HDMI port, the volume controls have no functionality. The HDMI controls are only intended to control the settings of the device plugged into that port, and do not control any other media devices on the system.
To use the HDMI port controls, plug a device into the HDMI port. Press the menu button (the top button displayed). A new on-screen menu displays. Using the +/­buttons, select brightness, volume, contrast, or color balance.

4 Maintaining your computer
Cleaning procedures
Keeping your computer system free of dust, dirt, and heat will prolong its life.
Dust, pet hair, and other particles can build up, creating a blanket effect; as a result, components can
overheat or, in the case of the keyboard and mouse, not work smoothly and effectively.
Check your system once a month for visible signs of dust and debris, and clean it about once every three
months.
Visit
www.hp.com/support for additional cleaning instructions.
Cleaning the computer vents
Air vents keep the computer cool. Keep these vents clean by using a small, battery­powered vacuum cleaner. (A battery-powered vacuum cleaner eliminates the risk of electric shock.)
1. Vacuum the vents on the computer case.
2. Remove any debris that has accumulated in and around the computer
connectors (for example, the Ethernet and USB connectors).
