HP OmniBook 2000/5700 User’s Guide

This manual describes how to use the OmniBook with the Microsoft® Windows® 95 operating system. It focuses on the special Hewlett-Packard hardware and software, not the Windows operating system itself. For questions about the operating system, refer to the Microsoft Windows 95 manual shipped with the OmniBook.

Using This Online Manual

This online User’s Guide looks similar to a printed manual—and it works like a printed manual in many ways, too. But you can do several handy things you can’t do with a manual. For example, you can make the type larger or smaller. You can click pictures to enlarge them. You can add electronic bookmarks for marking key information. And you can print all or part of the manual on your printer.

∙Press F1. You’ll quickly see how to use this manual.
