Introducing Your Computer Setting Up the Computer To turn on the computer Press the blue standby button located above the center of the keyboard. Windows starts automatically. If you are turning on the computer for the first time, go to "To set up Windows," below. The power status light next to the power switch (see "Status lights" on page 18) reports the following: • steady green light: computer is on • steady amber light: computer is in standby mode • no light: computer is off or in hibernate mode See "Managing Power Consumption" on page 50 for additional information. 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 press the standby button again. To set up Windows Your HP notebook has Microsoft Windows-either Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows XP-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 23. 1. Press the blue standby button. The Windows Setup program starts automatically. 2. Follow the instructions as they appear on the screen. During setup, you are prompted to enter a user name and accept the License Agreement. You can also register your computer at this time. Follow the instructions on the screen during setup. 24 Reference Guide
