Introducing Your Computer Setting Up the Computer There are three ways to register: • by modem • by phone • by fax By modem If you have Windows 98, you are prompted automatically to register. To register by modem, see that the phone is connected, then follow the onscreen instructions. If you have Windows 2000, you are not prompted to register, but you can register by modem if you double-click the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop or click the Register link in the Windows 2000 welcome screen. See that the phone line is connected and follow the onscreen instructions. With either operating system, if you choose not to register right away, you can register by modem later by double-clicking the Registration icon on the desktop. This icon disappears after you register. If your computer does not have a built-in modem, you can register after you set up a PC card modem or an external modem-or you can register by phone or fax. By phone You can call your HP Customer Care Center and register by phone. Check "To call the HP Customer Care Center" on page 41 for the phone number. By fax If a printer is connected to your computer, you can print a copy of your registration and fax it to HP. You will find the fax number on the registration form. By completing registration, you will: • Record your ownership of the computer with Hewlett-Packard and gain access to service, support, and information. • Record your ownership of the Windows 98 operating system with Microsoft. If you have Windows 2000, please contact Microsoft separately for registration of the operating system. Startup Guide 19
