To Our Valued Customer
Congratulations on your decision to purchase an HP Pavilion
home PC! During development, the HP Pavilion must pass
extensive quality tests to meet the rigorous standards that
have made HP famous for quality and reliability.
All HP Pavilions go through a comprehensive quality test to
ensure the PC is working correctly before it leaves our
factory. In addition, we have placed a security seal on your
PC to indicate that it has not been tampered with since it left
our factory.
We know that expanding and upgrading are key benefits
for all customers. We are proud to make this a key
differentiator for our HP Pavilion and understand that you
may wish to upgrade your PC to meet your specific needs.
Any hardware upgrades that you intend to do should only
be done after you have completely set up your new HP
Pavilion. Refer to the setup poster included with your system
for help with setting up. If you have any problems setting up
your system and turning it on, immediately contact the HP
Customer Care Center listed earlier in the Warranty and
Support Guide, and an HP Customer Representative will
4
assist you. This must be done first before attempting to
upgrade your system.
By breaking the security seal on the back of the HP Pavilion,
you are confirming that the HP Pavilion was working
properly before you attempted to upgrade your system.
Once the security seal has been broken, your HP Pavilion is
then, to the extent allowed by local law, covered under the
terms and conditions listed in the following pages.
Thank you for choosing the HP Pavilion. We hope you enjoy
discovering the exciting things you can do with it!
