To connect AC power
Plug in the AC adapter, then connect the AC adapter to the rear of the computer. The
battery starts charging.
CAUTION
Use only an HP AC adapter intended for this product, either the adapter that came
with the computer or another authorized HP adapter. Using an unauthorized AC
adapter can damage the computer and may void your warranty. Refer to the
warranty statement for your product.
To connect a phone line
Selected models of the HP notebook PC include a built-in modem. If you prefer, you can
instead use a PC card modem or an external modem to connect a phone line.
16Startup Guide
CAUTION
Introducing Your Computer
Setting Up the Computer
1. Plug one end of the phone line into the modem phone jack on the computer. Be sure it
clicks into place.

notebook to a phone line; see “To connect a phone line” on page 16.
1. Slide the power switch to the left.
2. The Windows Setup program starts automatically.
3. Follow the instructions as they appear on the screen.
During setup, you are prompted to:
• enter a user name
• accept the License Agreement
You can also register your computer at this time. Follow the instructions on the screen
during setup, or—if registration does not occur during setup—double-click the HP
Notebook Registration icon on the desktop.
You may be required to enter your Windows ID number. To locate it, look on the
Certificate of Authenticity packaged with the Microsoft Windows manual or look for a
sticker in the battery compartment.
If you have any connection problems with your modem, try redialing. If that doesn’t
work, you can skip registration for now.
To register your computer
Be sure to register your computer. Registering is free and fast, and it ensures you will
receive quicker, more personalized support. The information you provide during
registration will be used to provide you with better products and services.
18Startup Guide
Introducing Your Computer
Setting Up the Computer
There are three ways to register:
• by modem
• by phone
• by fax
By modem
If you have Windows 98, you are prompted automatically to register. To register by
modem, see that the phone is connected, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Working in Comfort with a Notebook PC
Working in Comfort with a Notebook PC
You can use your HP notebook computer virtually anywhere, anytime. The following
recommendations should help you work more comfortably.
Note that if you are using your portable computer as your primary computer, or using it
for extended periods, you should use it with a full-size keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
This will give your portable computer the adjustability and comfort features of a desktop
unit. HP docking accessories offer quick, easy connections to these devices. More
information on how to prepare your workspace environment and set up your HP
equipment is available in Working in Comfort, which is preloaded on the hard disk in the
HP Library and available on the Recovery CD in \hp\library—as well as at
www.hp.com/ergo.
WARNING
Improper use of keyboards and other input devices has been associated with
ergonomic injury. For more information about reducing your risk, visit our
ergonomics website or see Working in Comfort in the online HP Library.
Your mobile work environment
• Use a chair that provides good support for your lower back. If an adjustable chair is
not available, you can use a pillow or rolled-up towel to provide lower back support.
• Try to keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor. In a mobile
environment, you can do this by using a phone book or briefcase to support your feet.
• Adjust the height of either your work surface or chair to keep your arms in a neutral
position. Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows at your sides, with the
forearms and hands parallel with the floor.
• Position your notebook computer display to minimize glare and reflection. For
example, on an airplane, lower the window shade; or in a hotel room, draw the
curtains. You also should maintain a comfortable viewing distance—approximately
40 to 60 cm (16 to 24 inches). Adjust the angle of your display to help keep your head
angled slightly downward in a comfortable position.
24Startup Guide
Using Your Computer
Working in Comfort with a Notebook PC
Using your mobile computer
• Position the computer so your wrists and hands are in a neutral position. Your wrists
should be as straight as possible and should not have to bend sideways or more than
10 degrees up or down. Your HP notebook computer has a built-in palm rest, which is
ideal for this purpose.
• Try to type as lightly as possible. The notebook keyboard requires little force to
activate.
• Take frequent, short rest breaks—this is especially important in a mobile computing
environment.
• Portable computers weigh between approximately 1.5 and 4 kilograms
(approximately 3 to 8 pounds). When traveling, be sure to carry your computer
properly to minimize strain on your body. Shift the bag containing your notebook
equipment frequently between your left and right hands and shoulders.

Power and battery problems
If the computer turns off immediately after it turns on
• Battery power is probably extremely low. Plug in the AC adapter or insert a newly
charged battery.
If the computer keeps beeping
• The computer beeps for 15 seconds when the battery is low. Save your work, shut
down Windows immediately, and insert a charged battery or plug in the AC adapter.
If the computer has a short operating time
• Try conserving power by setting power timeouts to shorter periods. In Windows, you
can adjust these settings in the Power Management applet in Control Panel.
• If you are running any applications with an automatic save feature, such as MS Word
for Windows, you can extend the save time or disable this feature to reduce hard disk
access.
• If the operating time has become shorter and the battery is more than a year or two
old, you may need to replace the battery.
• Set the display brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
• Heavy modem use can affect battery operating time.
• PC card use can affect battery operating time.
Startup Guide47
Solving Problems with Your Computer
Troubleshooting Techniques
If the battery doesn’t charge
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into the power source and that the light on the
adapter is on.
• If you’re using a power strip, remove the AC adapter from the power strip and plug it
directly into a wall outlet.
• Check that the battery is fully installed and locked in place.
• Turn off the computer, then check that the battery contacts are clean and that the AC
adapter cables are fully plugged in.
• Move the computer away from any nearby heat source. Unplug the AC adapter and
allow the battery to cool down. An elevated battery temperature prevents charging.
• If another battery is available, try it.
• If another AC adapter is available, try it.
If the Time Remaining percentage for the battery is not correct
• The Time Remaining value on the power (battery) icon is an estimate based on your
current usage, not a precise value.
If the computer stops responding
• Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to end the application that is not responding.
• Slide the power switch to the left, hold it for at least five seconds, and release it to
turn off the computer. Then slide the power switch again to turn the computer back
on.
• If nothing happens, insert a paper clip into the system-off button on the left side of the
computer. Then slide the power switch to turn the computer on.
If the computer doesn’t standby as expected
• If you have a connection to another computer, the computer doesn’t standby if the
connection is actively in use.
• If the computer is performing an operation, it normally waits for the operation to
finish.
You may also want to test the power management system with diagnostics. See “Testing
Hardware Operation” in the Reference Guide.
