Getting Started with Your HP Notebook

Setting Up Your Computer

Step 4: Turn on the computer

Press the blue sleep button above the keyboard. The computer then boots up, and Windows starts automatically.

Hint

If your computer does not turn on when operating on battery power, the battery may be

 

out of power. Plug in the AC adapter and press the blue sleep button again. Leave the

 

AC adapter plugged in for at least an hour.

 

 

Step 5: Set up Windows

Your computer has Microsoft Windows preinstalled on its hard disk drive. The first time you turn on your computer, the Windows Setup program runs automatically so you can customize your setup.

1. Follow the Setup program’s instructions as they appear on the screen. If the program prompts you to enter the Product ID code, you will find this code on the bottom of the computer.

2. If your computer has a modem, check the modem’s country or region settings:

Windows 98: click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-click Modems, then click Dialing Properties.

Windows 2000: click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-click Phone and Modem Options, then click Edit on the Dialing Rules tab.

Windows XP: click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Phone and Modem Options, then click Edit on the Dialing Rules tab.
