Important Safety Information

If you have any doubt that you can lift the PC or display safely, do not try to move it without help.

For your safety, always connect the equipment to a grounded wall outlet. Always use a power cord with a properly grounded plug, such as the one provided with this equipment, or one in compliance with your national regulations. This PC is disconnected from the power by removing the power cord from the power outlet. This means the PC must be located close to a power outlet that is easily accessible.

For your safety, never remove the PC’s cover without first removing the power cord from the power outlet, and any connection to a telecommunications network. Always replace the cover on the PC before switching it on again.

To avoid electric shock, do not open the power supply.

This HP PC is a class 1 laser product. Do not attempt to make any adjustment of the laser units.
