WARNING

Improper use of keyboards and other input devices has been associated with ergonomic injury. For information about reducing your risk, see Working in Comfort in the online HP Library, or visit our ergonomics web site, www.hp.com/ergo. For a summary about working with a notebook computer, see “Working in Comfort with a Notebook PC” on page 33.

If you are using your notebook computer as your primary computer, or using it for extended periods, you should use it with a full-size keyboard, monitor, and mouse. This can reduce the risk of ergonomic injury. See Working in Comfort in the online HP Library.

When you set up your computer for the first time, you’ll need to install and charge the battery, connect the AC adapter, turn on the computer, and run the Windows setup program.

Step 1: Install the battery

Do not mutilate or puncture batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in fire, or they can burst or explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. Rechargeable batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.

Your computer is shipped with the battery installed. If the battery has been removed, you should install it:

1. Turn the computer upside down.
