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 41.
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
WARNING
Do not mutilate or puncture batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in fire, or they
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.
