Power

ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment:

■Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

■Disconnect power from the notebook by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet (not by unplugging the power cord from

the notebook).

■If provided with a 3-pin attachment plug on your power cord, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed) 3-pin outlet. Do not disable the power cord grounding pin; for example, by attaching a 2-pin adapter. The grounding pin is an important safety feature. It is possible to receive an electric shock from a system that is not properly grounded.

✎This chapter provides information on power functionality when used in Windows. If using QuickPlay (select models only), power functionality may differ. Refer to the HP QuickPlay User Guide for more information.

✎For the locations and descriptions of power components mentioned in this chapter, refer to Chapter 1, “Component ID.”
