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.
Important Safety Information
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 userserviceable parts inside.

Important Safety Information
Safety Information for Computers with a CD-ROM
To avoid electric shock and harm to your eyes by laser light from a CD-ROM
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.
Safety Information for Communications and Multimedia Models
Before connecting 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 headphones, place them around your neck and turn the volume
down. Then, put on the headphones and slowly increase the volume 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.

guide.bk Page v Tuesday, April 7, 1998 3:33 PM
Never touch or remove the communications card without first removing the
connection to the telephone network.
Analog Telephone Line
To use the HP communication card, you must have an analog telephone line. If
you are not sure if you have an analog telephone line or digital line, have it
verified by the person in charge of your telephone system before you install the
modem.
Important Safety Information
Caution
The modem will be damaged if you use a digital telephone line.

Understanding Your Desktop...
The Desktop
The desktop is where you can place various things — folders, files and
shortcuts to programs you use. It is also the place where program windows
appear, such as the HP Brio Center window.
The Recycle Bin
This is a temporary storage place for things you have deleted. It fills up
with all the things you have deleted until you decide to empty it. You can
use it to find things you might have deleted by mistake.
Icons
Icons are small graphical objects that represent a particular
feature, area or shortcut of your computer. Double-clicking on
them opens that feature. They can be dragged around the desktop, and they can
be placed in the recycle bin.

The First Steps...

Note
This window appears by,
double-clicking on on your Desktop,
•
selecting the HP Brio Center shortcut in the Start menu, or,
•
pressing the key on your enhanced keyboard (only available in certain
•
areas)
The HP Brio Center may not be available in all regions.
The window represents HP’s added value software that helps you get the most
out of your PC, quickly and efficiently — letting you concentrate on your
business, while at the same time being your first point of reference to all
questions or problems you might encounter.
The HP Brio Center window and its functions are described in detail on
page 10.

The First Steps...
Understanding Your Desktop...
The Taskbar
By default the taskbar is at the bottom of your window. It shows you which
applications you have open — represented by a taskbar button (the taskbar
below shows that the HP Brio Center window is open).
The Start Button
This is the starting point for many things you’ll want to do. When you
click on the start button a menu appears from which you can
perform a multitude of tasks — start programs, open documents, find help,
search for things on your computer, and change settings within your computer.
Taskbar Buttons
Every time you open a program a button for that
program appears on the taskbar. To switch between
programs, simply click on the taskbar button for the program you want.
Notification Area
Depending on what you are working on with your HP Brio
PC, small indicators may appear in the notification area (to
the left of the clock). If you are printing, for example, a small printer indicator
appears. Double-clicking on any of these indicators brings up a window where
you can change some of the settings. Try double-clicking the loudspeaker
indicator, and change your volume settings.

The First Steps...
The HP Brio Enhanced Keyboard
Note
The HP Brio enhanced keyboard may not be available in all regions.
The HP Brio enhanced keyboard has an extra set of buttons on the top righthand corner.
These buttons are configured to perform special tasks such as accessing the HP
Brio Center. They can also be re-programmed easily by yourself. You might
want to simplify a sequence of mouse-clicks into one single button press, or
have another launch a program you use regularly, with all your preferences
already there! This saves you time and increases your productivity.
For information on the standard features of the extra buttons, and how to reprogram them, please refer to the

and right mouse buttons, if you find it easier. Refer to “switching, mouse buttons” in the Windows help
system
Some of these clicking actions always have the same effect, no matter which
program you are using — left-clicking on a menu, for example, always displays
the choices within that menu.
The left mouse button is the “general purpose” button — you use it for
selecting, highlighting, clicking, and for dragging things around your windows
(moving the mouse while holding down the left mouse button on a highlighted
item).
The right mouse button can also be used within many programs. The choices
available to you may differ from program to program — right-clicking on the
Start button for example. Try it for yourself, and see what choices are available
by right-clicking in different areas of the taskbar.

So, you’ve turned on your computer and everything seems to be working fine.
Why should you bother registering?
The main benefit from registering your HP Brio PC is the support you get
should anything go wrong. The support is from the date you purchased your HP

Before you can use the communications features pre-loaded on your HP Brio
PC, you need to configure the fax and e-mail software.
Once you have followed the steps below, and have filled in the personal details
necessary for your fax and e-mail features to work, you can use your HP Brio
PC to communicate with other users, by fax or by e-mail.

To learn how to set up your fax modem, see the appropriate item in

prompting you for information as required.
Setting Up Your Dialing Properties
The dialing properties define your current location — that is the country and
area that you are located in, for dialing purposes. All the communications
functions on your computer use this information to establish a connection.
To set the dialing properties,

Sending a Fax
When you have created a document and want to fax it to someone, you can
simply fax it directly from your HP Brio PC. If you have access to a scanner you
could even scan in your signature and paste it into your documents.
When you send a fax, you’ll be prompted to give details on,
recipient’s details — name, fax number etc.,

Enabling & Disabling Fax Reception
Sometimes you may not want the fax modem to automatically answer calls — if
you only have one telephone line, for example, and you’re expecting a
telephone call from a customer, rather than a fax!
The Network and Communications window lets you switch painlessly from
enabling to disabling the fax modem.

Sending & Reading E-mails
Electronic mail — e-mail — is a system of sending messages from one
computer to another. Your HP Brio PC uses the modem as the means for
sending and receiving e-mails. People use e-mail because it is fast — very fast.
While an express letter might take a day to get from one continent to another,
an e-mail would typically be there in a matter of minutes. And the cost is
slashed, to the price typically of a local telephone call.
To see how to send or receive e-mail, see
Task Helper
in the HP Brio Center.
Accessing the Internet
The Internet — sometimes called the net, world wide web, or web — has
become almost an indispensable tool for many businesses today. Yet many
people either do not understand it fully. This can mean time wasted, and lost
opportunities.

Sharing Things with Others
In Business with the HP Brio PC
Sharing Things with Others
Note
The great advantage of being in any sort of network — be it computers, or a
more general company-wide network, is the power to be able to share
resources. Leveraging shared information reduces costs and improves
efficiency.
This section is only relevant for users who have installed a network card in their HP Brio PC.
What Does Sharing Mean?
Sharing things over a network means making them available to other users on
the network. A hard disk, for example can be shared; if the disk is on

you
your
HP
The HP Brio PC lets you connect to, and share information, such as folders and
documents, or peripherals such as printers, modems or CD-ROMs, quickly and
easily.
Just What Can be Shared?
Disk Drives
Where large amounts of information should be freely available for everyone in
your business, complete disk drives can be shared. If you need total flexibility,
everyone in your business could share their own disk drive.

In Business with the HP Brio PC
Sharing Things with Others
Alternatively, if your business really only needs one central place where
colleagues can share information, then share only one disk drive.
To connect to, or share a disk drive, see
Task Helper
in the HP Brio Center.
CD-ROMs
If not all colleagues in your business have a CD-ROM drive, you can save costs
by sharing the CD-ROM in your HP Brio PC.
To learn how to share a CD-ROM, see
Task Helper
in the HP Brio Center.
ZIP Drives
If not all colleagues in your business have a ZIP drive, you can save costs by
sharing the ZIP drive in your HP Brio PC.
To learn how to share a ZIP drive, see
Task Helper
in the HP Brio Center.
Documents & Folders
If you don’t want to share all the information on your hard disk, sharing folders
might be more appropriate. When you share a folder, all documents within it
are automatically shared.

even days may go by before you need to use it again.

A printer is an ideal resource to share over a network. So when you are not
printing, your colleagues can. You can make considerable savings on equipment
costs by sharing just one printer.

Modem
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could reduce telephone and equipment costs in one
go? With the HP Brio PC you can — by sharing your modem facility between
colleagues!
When you share a modem on a HP Brio PC, you are essentially sharing access
to a fax — anyone in your network can then send a fax!
Note

The fax facility can only be used by one person at any one time.

Protecting Your Data
Protecting Your Data
The data you have on your HP Brio PC may well be the most important for your
business. So you really do need to think about protecting it, maintaining it, and
making a backup of it. You do all this from
Protect Your Data
window.
Your HP Brio PC has been preloaded with maintenance, protection, backup and
repair tools so that you can, for example, back up your system and files and
check for computer viruses.
Passwords are an effective way of protecting your HP Brio PC. You can set up a
password for your screensaver — you must type the correct password to get
back to Windows.
To learn how to create different passwords, see page 28.

Backing Up Your Work
Imagine losing your passport the day before you’re due to fly back home. It’s a
nightmare we all dread, so when we travel we usually keep a pretty close eye
on it. Yet often when we’re working on a computer, we never really consider
losing all our data the day before an important presentation!
It’s a fact of life that computers sometimes go wrong. It’s also a fact of life that
people make mistakes and accidentally delete things, and that natural disasters
occur! If any one of these were to strike, it could spell disaster for your
business. That’s why you should make backing up your work a fact of life.
In Business with the HP Brio PC
Protecting Your Data
Hewlett-Packard realizes the devastating effects the loss of data can have on
smaller businesses, and has integrated several quick, easy-to-use options into
the HP Brio PC. This gives you a peace of mind and security, previously only
available to larger companies with a dedicated backup department.
Backup Utilities
Note
HP offers a number of different solutions for backing up the data on your HP
Brio PC, such as a ZIP drive, tape backup, or a remote backup service. For
further information, refer to the
local reseller.
The backup utilities available to you depend on your particular configuration of HP Brio PC.

Scanning for Viruses
Imagine your HP Brio PC suddenly began acting strangely, or even worse data
began disappearing! Such events can be caused by a virus.
If you use floppy disks from other people, or download material from the
Internet, there is always the potential for a computer virus to infect your HP
Brio PC.

Maintaining Your Hard Disk(s)
Things generally tend to work better and last longer when properly cared for.
This is equally true for your computer’s hard disk(s).
Your HP Brio PC will perform better if you maintain its hard disk(s) and the
files stored on them. Ideally, this maintenance work should be carried out on a
regular basis.
Scan your hard disk for errors — your HP Brio PC comes with a fully featured

disk analysis and repair tool that will help you check the integrity of disks,
check folders and file system for damage, and repair both disks and file
system, if necessary.
Optimize your hard disk’s performance — as programs are continually
•
reading or writing to the hard disk, fragmentation eventually occurs, meaning
that files are stored in random parts of the hard disk. Although fragmentation
does not have any effect on the files themselves, the computer does take
longer to access them. When you optimize the hard disk, you defragment
data, thereby consolidating files and improving your hard disk’s access time.
To learn about maintaining hard disks, and how to optimize or scan a disk, see
Maintain Hard Disk(s)
in the Protect Your Data window.
Password Protection
Why not protect your HP Brio PC by setting a password on your screensaver.
So, even when you leave your HP Brio PC unattended, you are sure that your
work is secure.
28
Page 37
guide.bk Page 29 Tuesday, April 7, 1998 3:33 PM
You can also set up your HP Brio PC to ask for a password right at startup. If
the correct password is not given after 2 attempts, the machine locks up and
must be rebooted. For information on this type of security, refer to the setup

Tips on Avoiding Potential Problems
Take Advantage of Disk Partitions
Disk partitions let you split your hard disk into separate areas. Each of these
areas appears as a separate drive — for example, C, D, etc. If your HP Brio PC
already has disk partitions, you might consider using one partition (other than
the C drive, as this is where your system files are stored) for your important
data. This has several advantages:

You can make backups more easily
•
If you ever have a problem with your system files (for instance, if a virus has
•
corrupted them), your Recovery CD-ROM will help you recover your PC to its
original state. It will erase the C drive and restore it, but will leave your
important data on the D drive intact.
Protect Your HP Brio PC from Power Shortages
If you plan to use your PC in a permanent way — to receive faxes, for example
— you should really consider adding an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
unit to your HP Brio PC, so that it is protected against power shortages. Indeed
after a power shortage, your HP Brio PC may not be able to retrieve its original
configuration (network connections, fax reception, etc).

Notice Regarding the Connection of Telephone Equipment to Telephone Lines
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. Provided with this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the
FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to
your telephone company.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your
telephone is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs connected to one line should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the
number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine
the maximum REN for your calling area.
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If
possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of
your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Check the bottom of your modem card for the FCC 68 number: Ringer Equivalence Number: 0.1B
For Canada Only
The standard connecting arrangement code for this equipment as specified in CP-01, section 1.8 is CA11A.
Canadian Department of Communications Information.
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.
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 raccordés 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.
Regulatory and License Information
Regulatory Information
If your modem has a EUROPEAN agreement for telecom connection to a PSTN (and not a National one), please consider the following:
The equipment has been approved to CTR 21 for pan-European connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). However, due
to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries (including those countries where there are multiple PSTN
operators), the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point.
In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.
