Setting Up the Computer
18 Setup Guide
Before you begin, connect the AC adapter to your notebook, since your battery may not
be sufficiently charged to complete the Windows setup. Also, be sure to connect the
notebook to the phone line. For information on connecting your modem, see “To connect
a phone line” on page 16.

Follow the instructions as they appear on the screen. For additional information about

Note
If you experience any connection problems with your modem, you can try redialing, or
if that doesn’t work, you can skip the product registration and ISP selection.
To register your computer
Be sure to register your computer. Registering is free and fast, and it insures you will be
promptly informed about new product information, product support, enhancements, and
add-ons. The information that you provide during registration will be used by Hewlett-
Packard and Microsoft to provide you better products and services.
There are three ways to register:
•
by modem
•
by phone
•
by fax
By modem
Windows 98 automatically prompts you to register. To register by modem, make sure
that you have connected the phone line, then follow the onscreen instructions.
If you choose not to register right away, you can register by modem later by double-
clicking the HP Pavilion Registration icon on the desktop. (This icon disappears after you
register.)
By phone
You can call your HP Customer Care Center and register by phone. The number, in the
U.S., is (970) 635-1000.
