Setting Up Your Notebook

WARNING

Improper use of keyboards and other input devices has been associated with ergonomic injury. For information about reducing your risk, see “Working in Comfort” in the online HP Library, or visit our ergonomics web site, www.hp.com/ergo. For a summary about working with a notebook computer, see “Working in Comfort with a Notebook PC” on page 40.

If you are using your notebook as your primary computer, or using it for extended periods, you should use it with a full-size keyboard, monitor, and mouse. This can reduce the risk of ergonomic injury. See “Working in Comfort” in the online HP Library.

When you set up your notebook for the first time, you’ll need to install and charge the battery, connect the AC adapter and a phone line, turn on the notebook, run the Windows setup program, and register the notebook.

Step 1: Install the battery

Do not mutilate or puncture batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in fire, o r t hey can burst or explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. Rechargeable batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.

Your notebook is shipped with the battery installed. If the battery has been removed, install it as follows:

• Insert the battery into the battery compartment, then press it in until it clicks into

place.

Reference Guide 19

Getting Started with Your HP Notebook

Setting Up Your Notebook

Once you have installed the battery, you can connect the AC adapter to the notebook and charge the battery while you work.

To remove the battery

• Slide the battery’s release latch, then pull the battery out of its compartment.

WARNING

Do not mutilate, puncture, or dispose of batteries in fire. A battery can burst or explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. A rechargeable battery must be recycled or disposed of properly.

20 Reference Guide

Getting Started with Your HP Notebook

Setting Up Your Notebook

Step 2: Connect AC power

CAUTION

Use only the HP AC adapter included with your notebook, or another approved HP adapter. Using any other AC adapter can damage the notebook, and may void your warranty—see "Hewlett-Packard Limited Warranty Statement" on page 110.

• Plug the AC adapter into the power source (the adapter’s LED lights), then connect it

to the AC adapter jack on the back of the notebook. The notebook’s battery then begins charging.

While the battery is charging, you can continue with step 3.

Reference Guide 21

Getting Started with Your HP Notebook

Setting Up Your Notebook

Step 3: Connect a phone line

Your notebook includes a built-in modem. If you prefer, you can instead use a PC card modem or an external modem to connect a phone line.

1. Make sure the telephone line is an analog line. You must not use a digital line. (Many office and some home lines are digital.)

2. Plug the telephone cord into the notebook’s modem jack, or into a PC card or external modem. Make sure the cord clicks into place.

3. Plug the other end of the cord into a telephone jack. If the plug on the phone cord doesn’t fit your telephone jack, you may need to use an adapter.

For details about using the modem, see “Using the Modem” on page 54.

22 Reference Guide

Getting Started with Your HP Notebook

Setting Up Your Notebook

Step 4: Turn on the notebook

• Press the power button located above the keyboard. The notebook then boots up, and

Windows starts automatically.

Hint

Note

If your notebook does not turn on when using only its battery, the battery may be discharged. Connect the AC adapter and press the power button again. Leave the AC adapter connected for at least an hour.

Step 5: Set up Windows

Your notebook has Microsoft Windows XP preinstalled on its hard disk drive. The first time you turn on your notebook, a Windows setup program runs automatically.

1. Follow the setup program’s instructions as they appear on the screen.

2. Check the modem’s country or region settings: click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Phone and Modem Options. On the Dialing Rules tab, verify the settings for your location, or create a new location.

If you need the Windows XP Product ID code, you’ll find it on the bottom of the notebook.

Setting Up Your Notebook

Step 6: Register your notebook

Be sure to register your notebook. Registering is free and fast, and ensures that you will receive quicker, more personalized support. The information you provide during registration is used to provide you with better products and services.

Registering your notebook does the following:

• Records your ownership of the notebook with Hewlett-Packard and provides access to

service, support, and information.

• Records your ownership of the Windows XP operating system with Microsoft.

You can register while setting up Windows, or later in any of three ways: by modem, by phone, or by fax. For some countries and models, an HP notebook registration icon is available on the desktop.

By modem

If you decide not t o register while setting up Windows, you can register later by modem by double-clicking the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop. Make sure the phone line is connected and follow the onscreen instructions. The icon disappears after you register.

By phone

You can register your notebook by calling your HP Customer Care Center—see “To contact HP for support or service” on page 106.

By fax

If you have a printer connected to your notebook, you can print a registration form that you can fax to HP. Double-click the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop, and print the registration form. You will find the fax number on the form.

To connect to the Internet

You can use your notebook’s modem or LAN port (selected models) to connect to the Internet. For details, see “Using the Modem” on page 54 or “Connecting to a LAN” on page 61.
