Introducing Your Computer Setting Up the Computer To turn on the computer Slide the power switch to the left-it's the control above the left side of the keyboard. Windows starts automatically. If you are turning on the computer for the first time, go to "To set up Windows" on page 19. The power status light next to the power switch (see "Status lights" on page 14) reports the following: • steady green light: computer is on • steady amber light: computer is in system standby (or suspend) mode • no light: computer is off or in hibernate mode See "Managing Power Consumption" on page 30 for additional information about turning off your computer. Hint If your computer does not turn on when operating on battery power, the battery may be out of power. Plug in the AC adapter and slide the power switch to the left again. To set up Windows Your HP notebook has Microsoft Windows-either Windows 98, Windows ME or Windows 2000-preinstalled on the hard disk drive. The first time you turn on your computer, a Windows Setup program will automatically run so that you can customize your setup. 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 a phone line; see "To connect a phone line" on page 18. 1. Slide the power switch to the left. 2. The Windows Setup program starts automatically. 3.
