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 29.

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
