Getting Started with Your HP Notebook Setting Up Your Computer Step 6: Register your notebook Be sure to register your computer. Registering is free and fast, and ensures you will receive quicker, more personalized support. The information you provide during registration allows us to provide you with better products and services. Registering your computer does the following: • Records your ownership of the computer with Hewlett-Packard and provides access to service, support, and information. • Records your ownership of the Windows XP operating system with Microsoft. If you have Windows 2000, please contact Microsoft separately to register the operating system. If you decide not to register during Windows setup, choose the option to print the registration form, and then fax it to HP at the fax number on the form. Or you can register by calling HP Customer Care-see "To contact HP for support or service"on page 128 to find the phone number. To connect to the Internet If you are connected to a wired or wireless LAN with Internet access or your computer has a modem (built-in, PC Card, or external), you can connect to the Internet. For details, see "Using the Modem" on page 58, "Connecting to a LAN" on page 66, or "Making Wireless Connections" on page 67.
