Next steps

Use the computer safely

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 computer by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet (not by unplugging the power cord from

the computer).

■� 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 using a 2-pin adapter. The grounding pin is an important safety feature.

ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety and Comfort Guide. It describes proper workstation setup, and proper posture, health, and work habits for computer users. The Safety and Comfort Guide also provides important electrical and mechanical safety information. This guide is available on the Web at

http://www.hp.com/ergo and in the Help and Support Center. To access the Help and Support Center, select Start > Help and Support > User Guides.

ÅWARNING: To avoid potential discomfort or burns, do not block the air vents or use the computer on your lap for extended periods. The computer is designed to run demanding applications at full power. As a result of increased power consumption, it is normal for the computer to feel warm or hot when used continuously. The computer complies with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment (IEC 60950).
