WARNING : To reduce potential safety issues, use only the AC adapter or battery
provided with the computer, or a replacement AC adapter or battery provided by HP.

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.
✎
A partially charged new battery can run the computer after software setup is complete,
but battery charge displays are not accurate until the new battery has been fully charged.
