User's Manual

the operating instructions that are included
with the product.
Avoid overloading the electrical circuit:
Do not overload an electrical outlet, power
strip, or convenience receptacle. The overall
system load must not exceed 80% of the
branch circuit rating. If power strips are used,
the load should not exceed 80% of the input
rating of the power strip.
Observe extension cord ratings: If an
extension cord or power strip is used, make
sure that the cord or strip is rated for the
product and that the total ampere ratings of
all products plugged into the extension cord
or power strip do not exceed 80% of the
ampere rating limit of the extension cord or
power strip.
Select the correct voltage: Ensure that the
voltage select switch on the product is in the
correct position for the type of voltage you
use (115 V AC or 230 V AC).
Use an approved AC adapter: Only the AC
adapter provided with the product, a
replacement AC adapter provided by HP, or
an AC adapter purchased as an accessory
from HP should be used with the product.
Use an approved power cord: If you were
not provided with a power cord for your
product, you should purchase a power cord
that is approved for use in your country.
The power cord must be rated for the product
and for the voltage and current marked on
the electrical ratings label of the product. The
voltage and current rating of the cord should
be greater than the voltage and current rating
marked on the product. In addition, the
diameter of the wire must be a minimum of
0.75 mm²/18AWG, and the length of the cord
should be between 1.5 meters (5 feet) and
2 meters (6.5 feet) long. If you have
questions about the type of power cord to
use, call Customer Care.
Position the power cord carefully: Route
the power cord so that it will not be walked
on, tripped over, or pinched by items placed
upon or against it. Pay particular attention to
the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where
the power cord exits the product.
Plug power cord into the proper outlet:
Plug the product into an electrical outlet that
is easily accessible at all times. If the product
is a 3-wire grounding type, be sure the outlet
is the proper grounded (earthed) type. Do not
disable the power cord grounding plug
because it is an important safety feature.
Unplug the power cord properly:
Disconnect power from the product by
unplugging the power cord from the electrical
outlet. Do not pull on cords and cables. When
unplugging the cord from an electrical outlet,
grasp and pull the cord by the plug.
Safety Precautions for Battery Packs
To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not
disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery
pack; short the external contacts on a battery
pack; or dispose of a battery pack in fire or
water. Do not expose a battery pack to high
temperatures above 60°C (140°F). Replace
only with a battery pack approved for this
computer.
There is a danger of explosion if a battery
pack is incorrectly replaced. Replace it only
with an approved battery pack for this
product.
Keep battery packs away from children.
Handle battery packs carefully: Replace a
battery pack only with a battery pack
approved for this product. For information
about removing a battery pack, refer to your
product documentation.
When a battery pack has reached the end
of its useful life, do not dispose of the battery
pack in general household waste. Follow the
local laws and regulations in your area for
computer battery pack disposal.
In Europe, dispose of or recycle the battery
packs by using the public collection system
or by returning them to HP, your service
partner, or their agents.
Safety Precautions for Docking Devices
Avoid unstable mounting: Do not place a
monitor with an unstable base or a monitor
heavier than 25 kilograms (55 pounds) on
top of a monitor stand, unless the monitor
stand is marked for use with a heavier
monitor. Instead, place the monitor on a work
surface next to the docking device.

Exposure to radio frequency radiation:
The radiated output power of wireless
devices is below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device
should be used in such a manner that the
potential for human contact during normal
operation is minimized. To avoid the
possibility of exceeding the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits, human proximity
to the antenna should not be less than 20 cm
(8 inches) during normal operation.
Safety Precautions for Products with
Modems, Telecommunications or Local
Area Network Accessories
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons when using this device,
