Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information
It is important that you read the following safety information before
you set up and use your computer.
General Safety Information
If you are in any doubt about whether you can lift the equipment safely,
do not try to move it without help.
Always connect the computer equipment to a grounded electrical wall
outlet. Always use a power cord with properly grounded plugs, such as
the one provided with your equipment, or one in compliance with your
country’s regulations. You can disconnect the computer from the power
supply by removing the power cord from the electrical outlet. This
means that the computer must be located close to an easily accessible
electrical outlet.
Check that the correct voltage is selected for your country (the voltage
is set during manufacturing and should already be correct).
Never remove the computer’s cover without first removing the power
cord and any connection to a telecommunications network. Always
replace the cover before switching on the computer.
To avoid electric shock, do not open the power supply unit. There are
no user-serviceable parts inside.
Safety Information for Computers with a CD-ROM
To avoid electric shock and harm to your eyes by laser light from a CDROM drive, do not open the CD-ROM drive enclosure. The drive should
be serviced by qualified personnel only. Do not attempt to make any
adjustment to the unit. The HP PC is a Class 1 laser product. Refer to
the label on the CD-ROM drive for power and wavelength
requirements.

Important Safety Information
Safety Information for Communications and Multimedia Models
Before connecting the headphones or speakers, always turn the volume
down to avoid discomfort from unexpected noise or static. Listening to
loud sounds for prolonged periods of time may permanently damage
your hearing. Before putting on the headphones, place them around
your neck and turn the volume down. Then, put on the headphones
and slowly increase the volume by using the Audio Mixer Applet or the
enhanced keyboard until you find a comfortable listening level, where
the sound is clear, without being too loud. When you can hear
comfortably and clearly, without distortion, leave the volume control in
that position.
Do not attempt to connect this product to the telephone line
during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the telephone line
has been disconnected at the network interface.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during a lightning
storm. There may be a risk from lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Never touch or remove the communications card without first
removing the connection to the telephone network.

The Canadian Department of Communications Label identifies certified equipment. This certification means
that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements.
The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the
local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of
connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be
extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may
give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may
be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate
electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

6 Regulatory and Warranty Information
Regulatory Information
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the
maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an
interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer
Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
The Load Number is located on the bottom of your modem. The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal
device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device,
to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the
requirements that the total of the Load Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100. An alphabetic suffix is
also specified in the Load Number for the appropriate ringing type (A or B), if applicable. For example, LN=20A
designates a Load Number of 20 and an “A” type ringer.
L’étiquette d’Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est
conforme à certaines normes de protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications,
comme le prescrivent les documents concernant les exigences techniques relatives au matériel terminal. Le
Ministère n’assure toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit assurer qu’il soit permis de raccorder aux installations de
l’entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode
acceptée de raccordement. Dans certains cas, les fils intérieurs de l’entreprise utilisés pour un service
individuel à ligne unique peuvent être prolongés au moyen d’un dispositif de raccordement homologué
(cordon rallonge téléphonique interne). L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité aux
conditions énoncées ci-dessus, n’empêchent pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par le
fournisseur. L’entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la
suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d’énergie
électrique, des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d’eau métalliques, s’il y en a, sont racordés ensemble.
Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.
AVERTISSEMENT: L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à
un service d’inspection électrique, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.
AVIS: L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (LES) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre
maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface. La terminaison d’une interface téléphonique
peut consister en une combinaison de quelques dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d’indice
d’équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n’excède pas 5.

Limitation of Warranty
The above warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from: misuse; unauthorized modification; operation or
storage outside the environmental specifications for the product; in-transit damage; improper maintenance; or
defects resulting from use of non-HP software, accessories, media, supplies, consumables, or such items not

HP MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO THIS
PRODUCT.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS LIMITED
TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE.

Limitation of Liability and Remedies
THE REMEDIES PROVIDED ABOVE ARE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES.
IN NO EVENT SHALL HP BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY CONTRACT,
TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
The foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply in the event that any HP product sold hereunder is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be defective and to have directly caused bodily injury, death,
or property damage; provided, that in no event shall HP’s liability for property damage exceed the greater of
$50,000 or the purchase price of the specific product that caused such damage.
Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Obtaining On-Site Warranty Service
To obtain on-site warranty service, the customer must contact an HP Sales and Service Office, the HP customer
Support Center, or a participating Authorized HP Personal Computer Dealer Repair Center and arrange for onsite repair of the product. The customer must be prepared to supply proof of the purchase date.
This warranty is extended worldwide to products purchased from HP or an Authorized HP Personal Computer
Dealer which are reshipped by the original purchaser either for use by the original purchaser or provided as an
incidental part of systems integrated by the original purchaser. Service is provided in the same manner as if the
product was purchased in the country of use and can only be provided in countries where the product is
designed to operate. If the product is not normally sold by HP in the country of use, it must be returned to the
country of purchase for service.
The system processor unit, keyboard, mouse, and Hewlett-Packard accessories inside the system processor
unit–such as video adapters, mass storage devices, and interface controllers–are covered by this warranty.
Customer-replaceable components–such as the keyboard or mouse–may be serviced through expedited part
shipment. In this event, HP will prepay shipping charges, duty, and taxes; provide telephone assistance on
replacement of the component; and pay shipping charges, duty, and taxes for any part that HP asks to be
returned.
HP products external to the system processor unit–such as external storage subsystems, displays, printers, and
other peripherals–are covered by the applicable warranties for those products; HP software is covered by the
HP Software Warranty.
On-site visits caused by non-Hewlett-Packard products–whether internal or external to the system processor
unit–are subject to standard per-incident travel and labor charges.
On-site service for this product is restricted or unavailable in certain locations. In HP Excluded Travel
Areas–areas where geographical obstacles, undeveloped roads, or unsuitable public transportation prohibit
routine travel–service is provided on a negotiated basis at extra charge.
Response time for HP on-site service in an HP Service Travel Area is normally next business day (excluding HP
holidays) for HP Travel Zones 1-3 (generally 100 miles or 160 Km from the HP office). Response time is second
business day for Zones 4 and 5 (200 miles, 320 Km); third business day for Zone 6 (300 miles, 480 Km); and
negotiated beyond Zone 6. Worldwide Customer Support Travel information is available from any HP Sales and
Service Office.
Travel restrictions and response time for dealer or distributor service are defined by the participating dealer or
distributor.
Service contracts which provide after-hours or weekend coverage, faster response time, or service in an
Excluded Travel Area are often available from HP, an authorized dealer, or authorized distributor at additional
charge.
