Powering on the device

WARNING!
This product can only be used with an HP-approved power cord for your specific geographic region.
Use of a non-HP-approved power cord may result in: 1) not meeting individual country specific safety
requirements; 2) insufficient conductor ampacity that could result in overheating with potential personal
injury and/or property damage; and 3) an unapproved power cord could fracture resulting in the
internal contacts being exposed, which potentially could subject the user to a shock hazard. HP
disclaims all liability in the event a non-HP-approved power cord is used.
