To run HP User Tools

1.Click Start, HP User Tools.

2.Click the tabs and buttons for the changes you want to make. You’re prompted if you need to reboot the computer. Click Help or see the table below for more information.

3.After you make the changes, exit HP User Tools.

Information 1

Opens the OmniBook User’s Guide and other online sources of

 

information.

Setup

 

OmniBook

Display:

 

Sets whether the built-in display is on or off when an external

 

display is present.

 

Password:

 

“Set User Password.” The user password protects certain

 

events, but doesn’t give access to protected administrator

 

options, such as PC ID.

 

“User Password Required” sets whether a password is required

 

when the computer starts, before undocking, or when changing

 

OmniBook settings such as those in the SCU.

 

“Set Admin Password.” The administrator password provides

 

protection equal to the user password plus PC ID and

 

OmniBook setting protection. The administrator password can

 

be used whenever the user password is requested, such as

 

when changing the user password.

 

“Admin Password Required” sets whether PC ID and

 

OmniBook setting changes are protected by the administrator

 

password.

 

Power:

 

“Options for Battery Power” balances the tradeoffs between

 

power savings and performance speed while operating on

 

battery power. Click Custom to set timeouts individually.

 

“Idle Time Before Turn-Off” shows the individual timeouts.
