Electrical Shock Hazard

To reduce the risk of electric shock:

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
If the power cord has a 3-pin plug, plug it into a grounded (3-pin) outlet.

For more information on safety, regulations, labels, battery disposal, and RoHS, consult the document titled "Regulatory, Safety, and Environmental Notices," provided with the user guides. To find user guides for your computer, refer to the "Finding More Information" section of this poster.

Risk of Serious Injury

To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the "Safety and Comfort Guide," provided with the user guides. It describes proper workstation setup and provides information on posture, health, and correct work habits for computer users. The guide also contains important information on electrical and mechanical safety. The "Safety and Comfort Guide" is also available online at http://www.hp.com/ergo.

Risk of Burns or Overheating

To prevent possible injury from burns or overheating of the computer, do not place the computer directly on your lap or block the computer's ventilation openings. Use the computer only on hard, flat surfaces. Do not allow airflow to be blocked by another hard surface, such as an optional printer, or by soft surfaces such as pillows, blankets, or clothing. Also, during use, do not allow the AC adapter to come into contact with skin or soft surfaces like pillows, blankets, or clothing. The computer and AC adapter supplied by HP comply with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by applicable safety standards.
