Step 6: Register your notebook

Be sure to register your notebook. Registering is free and fast, and ensures that you will
receive quicker, more personalized support. The information you provide during
registration is used to provide you with better products and services.
Registering your notebook does the following:
• Records your ownership of the notebook with Hewlett-Packard and provides access to
service, support, and information.
• Records your ownership of the Windows XP operating system with Microsoft.
You can register while setting up Windows, or later in any of three ways: by modem, by
phone, or by fax. For some countries and models, an HP notebook registration icon is
available on the desktop.
By modem
If you decide not to register while setting up Windows, you can register later by modem
by double-clicking the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop. Make sure the
phone line is connected and follow the onscreen instructions. The icon disappears after
you register.
By phone
You can register your notebook by calling your HP Customer Care Center—see "To
contact HP for support or service" on page 110.
By fax
If you have a printer connected to your notebook, you can print a registration form that
you can fax to HP. Double-click the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop, and
print the registration form. You will find the fax number on the form.

To connect to the Internet

You can use your notebook's modem or LAN port (selected models) to connect to the
Internet. For details, see "Using the Modem" on page 56 or "Connecting to a LAN" on
page 63.
