Setting Up Your Computer
WARNING
Improper use of keyboards and other input devices has been associated with
ergonomic injury. For information about reducing your risk, see the Safety &
Comfort Guide on the Documentation Library CD included with your computer, or
visit our ergonomics Web site, www.hp.com/ergo.
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.
Docking accessories offer quick, easy connections to these devices. This can reduce
the risk of ergonomic injury. See the Safety & Comfort Guide on the Documentation
Library CD, or visit our ergonomics Web site, www.hp.com/ergo.
When you set up your computer for the first time, you’ll install and charge the battery,
connect the AC adapter, turn on the computer, and run the Windows setup program.
Step 1: Install the battery
WARNING
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.
2. Insert the connector end of the battery into the battery compartment and slide it in
until it latches.
