Protecting the Notebook from
Power Surges
To protect the notebook from the power surges that may be
caused by an uncertain power supply or an electrical storm:
■
Plug the notebook power cord into an optional, high-quality
surge protector. Surge protectors are available from most
computer or electronics retailers.
■
Provide surge protection on the cable that connects a modem
to the telephone line.
■
During an electrical storm, run the notebook on battery power
or shut down the notebook and disconnect the power cord.
Protecting the Notebook Against
Viruses
When you use the notebook for email, network, or Internet
access, you expose the notebook to computer viruses. Computer
viruses can disable the operating system, your applications, or
your utilities or cause them to function abnormally.
Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and,
in most cases, repair damage they have caused. To provide
protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software
must be updated.
The Norton AntiVirus 2003 software installed on your notebook
provides 60 days of free virus updates.
For Norton AntiVirus 2003 instructions and more information
about virus updates, refer to the Help file within the application or
select Start > Help and Support.

Using the Notebook Safely
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules.
For more safety and regulatory information, as well as
instructions for protecting the notebook against electrostatic
discharge, refer on the Documentation Library CD to the
Regulatory and Safety Notices guide.
The Documentation Library CD is included with your notebook.
Å
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your
equipment:
■ Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet that is easily accessible
at all times.
■ Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
■ If provided with a three-conductor power cord with a three-pin
attachment plug, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet. Do
not disable the power cord grounding pin. The grounding pin is an
important safety feature.
Å
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety &
Comfort Guide. It describes proper workstation setup and proper posture,
health, and work habits for computer users. The Safety & Comfort Guide
also provides important electrical and mechanical safety information. This
guide is available on the Web at http://www.hp.com/ergo, on the hard
drive, or on the Documentation Library CD that is included with
the product.
Å
WARNING: This notebook is designed to run demanding applications
at full power. As a result of increased power consumption, it is normal
for the notebook to feel warm or hot when used continuously. To avoid
potential discomfort or burns, do not block the air vents or use the
notebook on your lap for extended periods. The notebook complies with
the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the
International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment
(IEC 60950).

Understanding Standby, Hibernation
and Shutdown
This section describes Standby, Hibernation, and shutdown and
explains when to implement them. Standby, Hibernation, and
shutdown procedures are provided later in the chapter. Standby
and Hibernation are energy-saving features that can be initiated
by you or by the system.
Standby
Standby reduces power to system components that are not in use.
When Standby is initiated, your work is saved in random access
memory (RAM) and the screen is cleared.
■
Saving your work before initiating Standby is not usually
necessary, but is a recommended precaution.
■
When the notebook is in Standby, the power/standby light
flashes.
When you resume from Standby, your work returns to the screen
where you left off.
Hibernation
Hibernation saves system memory to the hard drive, takes a
snapshot of the notebook image, then shuts down the notebook.
When you resume from Hibernation, your work returns to the
screen exactly as you left it.
The following information may be useful as you manage
Hibernation:
■
4–2
Saving your work before initiating Hibernation is not usually
necessary, but is a recommended precaution.

Power
■
■
To determine whether the notebook is in Hibernation or
turned off, press the power button:
❏
If the notebook is in Hibernation, your work returns to
the screen.
❏
If the notebook is off, Windows loads.
Hibernation is enabled by default, but can be disabled. To
prevent loss of work during a critical low-battery condition,
disable Hibernation only during a battery pack calibration.
To verify that Hibernation is enabled, select Start > Control
Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options
icon > Hibernate tab. If Hibernation is enabled, the Enable
Hibernation check box is selected.
Ä
CAUTION: If the configuration of the notebook system is changed during
Hibernation, it may not be possible to resume from Hibernation. When the
notebook is in Hibernation:
■
■
■
Do not add or remove a memory module.
Do not connect or disconnect an external device.
Do not insert or remove a CD, DVD, PC Card, SD Card, or MMC.
Shutdown
Shutdown procedures turn off the notebook. Whether to leave
a battery pack in the notebook or in storage depends on how
you work:
■
Leaving the battery pack in the notebook enables the battery
pack to charge whenever the notebook is connected to
external power and also protects your work during a power
outage.
■
A battery pack in the notebook discharges more quickly, even
when the notebook is turned off, than a battery pack that has
been removed from the notebook and stored in a cool, dry
location.

HP-323140-001.book Page 4 Tuesday, April 1, 2003 4:20 PM
Power
Choosing Standby, Hibernation or
Shutdown
If you plan to resume shortly: Initiate Standby for shorter times
and Hibernation for longer times or power conservation.
The amount of time a battery pack can support Standby or
Hibernation or hold a charge varies by notebook configuration
and the condition of the battery pack.
■
Initiating Standby clears the screen, uses less power than
leaving the notebook on, and your work returns quickly to the
screen when you resume from Standby. A fully charged new
battery pack can typically support Standby for up to 48 hours.
■
Initiating Hibernation clears the screen and uses much less
power than Standby. Returning to work saved in Hibernation
takes longer than returning to work saved in Standby, but is
faster than returning to your place manually after restarting
the notebook. A fully charged new battery pack can typically
support Hibernation for several weeks.
If you plan to resume within 2 weeks: Shut down the notebook. If
possible, connect the notebook to external power to keep an
inserted battery pack fully charged.
If the notebook will be disconnected from external power for more
than 2 weeks: To extend the life of an inserted battery pack, shut
down the notebook. Remove the battery pack and store it in a
cool, dry location.
If an external power supply is uncertain, for example, because of
an electrical storm, save your work, then initiate Hibernation or
shut down the notebook.
