Product information

Safe operation

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment,

observe these practices:

■ Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

■ Disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the AC

outlet (not by unplugging the power cord from the computer).

■ If provided with a 3-pin attachment plug on your power cord, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed) 3-pin outlet. Do not disable the power cord grounding pin, for example, by attaching a 2-pin adapter. The grounding pin is an important safety feature.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It

describes proper workstation setup and proper posture, health, and work habits for computer users. The Safety & Comfort Guide also provides important electrical and mechanical safety information. The Safety & Comfort Guide is available on the Web at http://www.hp.com/ergo.

WARNING: To reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries or of overheating the

computer, do not place the computer directly on your lap or obstruct the computer air vents. Use the computer only on a hard, flat surface. Do not allow another hard surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, to block airflow. Also, do not allow the AC adapter to contact the skin or a soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, during operation. The computer and the AC adapter comply with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment (IEC

60950).

WARNING: To reduce potential safety issues, use only the AC adapter or battery

provided with the computer, a replacement AC adapter or battery provided by HP, or a compatible AC adapter or battery purchased as an accessory from HP.

For more safety and regulatory information, and for battery disposal information, refer to “Regulatory, safety, and environmental notices” section in this chapter.

Product information

Important display information

All HP notebook display panels adhere to strict quality and reliability specifications. A small percentage of display panels may have minor cosmetic imperfections that appear as bright or dark dots (described below) in the viewable area:

This is consistent with industry standards and common to all display panel

✎

types used by notebook PC vendors and is not specific to any HP model or product line.

■ A pixel consists of 1 red, 1 green, and 1 blue subpixel, each of which is

commonly referred to as a dot.

■ A pixel imperfection may manifest as either always turned on (a bright spot on

a dark background) or as always off (a dark spot on a bright background).

■ A subpixel imperfection is less visible than a whole pixel imperfection,

because it is small and may be visible only on a specific background.

HP expects that, over time, the industry will continue to improve its ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic imperfections, and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.
