Safety Precautions for Power Cords and Accessories

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not attempt
to power the product with a voltage converter kit sold for appliances.
Use the correct external power source: A product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source
required, call Customer Care, your service partner, or local power company. For a product that
operates from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions that are included
with the product.
Avoid overloading the electrical circuit: Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or
convenience receptacle. The overall system load must not exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating.
If power strips are used, the load should not exceed 80% of the input rating of the power strip.
Observe extension cord ratings: If an extension cord or power strip is used, make sure that the
cord or strip is rated for the product and that the total ampere ratings of all products plugged into the
extension cord or power strip do not exceed 80% of the ampere rating limit of the extension cord or
power strip.
Select the correct voltage: Ensure that the voltage select switch on the product is in the correct
position for the type of voltage you use (115 V ac or 230 V ac).
Use an approved AC adapter: Only the AC adapter provided with the product, a replacement AC
adapter provided by HP, or an AC adapter purchased as an accessory from HP should be used with
the product.
Use an approved power cord: If you were not provided with a power cord for your product, you
should purchase a power cord that is approved for use in your country.
The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the electrical
ratings label of the product. The voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than the
voltage and current rating marked on the product. In addition, the diameter of the wire must be a
minimum of 0.75 mm²/18AWG, and the length of the cord should be between 1.5 meters (5 feet) and
2 meters (6.5 feet) long. If you have questions about the type of power cord to use, call Customer
Care.
Position the power cord carefully: Route the power cord so that it will not be walked on, tripped
over, or pinched by items placed upon or against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical
outlet, and the point where the power cord exits the product.
Plug power cord into the proper outlet: Plug the product into an electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times. If the product is a 3-wire grounding type, be sure the outlet is the proper
grounded (earthed) type. Do not disable the power cord grounding plug because it is an important
safety feature.
Unplug the power cord properly: Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power
cord from the electrical outlet. Do not pull on cords and cables. When unplugging the cord from an
electrical outlet, grasp and pull the cord by the plug.

Safety Precautions for Battery Packs

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery
pack; short the external contacts on a battery pack; or dispose of a battery pack in fire or water. Do
not expose a battery pack to high temperatures above 60°C (140°F). Replace only with a battery
pack approved for this computer.
