Using the computer safely

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
your equipment, observe these practices:
■
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 attaching a 2-pin
adapter. The grounding pin is an important safety feature.

WARNING:
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

WARNING:
To reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries or of
overheating the computer, do not place the computer directly on your lap
or obstruct the computer air vents. Use the computer only on a hard, flat
surface. Do not allow another hard surface, such as an adjoining optional
printer, or a soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, to block
airflow. Also, do not allow the AC adapter to contact the skin or a soft
surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, during operation. The
computer and the AC adapter comply with the user-accessible surface
temperature limits defined by the International Standard for Safety of
Information Technology Equipment (IEC 60950).
WARNING:
To reduce potential safety issues, use only the AC adapter
or battery provided with the computer, a replacement AC adapter or
battery provided by HP, or a compatible AC adapter or battery purchased
as an accessory from HP.
For more safety and regulatory information, and for battery
disposal information, refer to the
