Before suspending, docking, or undocking your computer, always save your data and close any applications
you have open, especially applications that are not power aware, audio and video applications, and
applications using PC Cards and I/O devices such as a CD-ROM drive.
Reprogramming the One-Touch Buttons
The Internet and E-Mail One-Touch buttons automatically open your internet Home page and your e-mail
software. If you want to reprogram these two buttons but are not able to change their operation, check the
Business Support web site (www.hp.com/go/bizsupport) for the latest One-Touch software.
Using Wireless LAN
Here are some suggestions about setting the wireless LAN configuration:
* If you are running Windows 2000, you may not be able to open the wireless configuration window from
the Start menu. If this occurs, click the wireless icon in the taskbar to open the configuration window.
* If you are running Windows 2000 and your wireless network uses shared authentication, you must change
the authentication option in Windows Device Manager. Open Device Manager, expand the network
devices, and double-click the 802.11 device. On the Advanced tab, change the authentication algorithm to
the shared option.
* When you connect to a wireless network via an access point, your computer should be able to use
network resources. If, when you log on, your computer cannot connect to network resources, your
computer may not have been assigned an IP address. For Windows 2000, to check your IP address, click
Start, Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt and type ipconfig. If the subnet mask for your wireless
connection is 255.255.000.000, the network server did not assign an IP address to your computer, and
you may have to release and renew your network IP address--see the readme file mentioned below. If this
does not fix the problem, the access point may need to be rebooted.
* If you want to change the SSID to a different value to connect to a different access point, or if you want
to change from Infrastructure mode to AdHoc mode, you may first have to release and renew the internet
IP address. See the readme file mentioned below.
If you have trouble setting up or using a wireless LAN connection, see the information about wireless LAN
in c:\hp\Drivers\Wireless\Readme.txt.
Using a TV as a Monitor
If you connect a TV to the computer’s S-video port, follow these suggestions for optimum operation:
* For best quality and operation, use a TV with an S-video input and connect an S-video cable from the
computer to the TV. If the only connection available is a composite phono (RCA-type) connection, a
good-quality standard cable is recommended. However, some S-video/composite adapters will not work
for this application. Contact HP Customer Care for more information.
* Avoid pressing the power button (Standby mode) after switching back and forth between the computer
display and the TV. In some situations, the computer may stop responding when going to Standby mode
after switching back and forth. As a precaution, set your Standby timeouts in Control Panel Power
Options to prevent going to Standby automatically when using a TV, and save your work before pressing
the power button or switching displays. You can check the Business Support web site
(www.hp.com/go/bizsupport) to see whether a software update is available.
