Infrared signals are sent through an invisible beam of infrared
light and must have an unobstructed line of sight. Infrared
performance may vary with the performance of infrared
peripherals, the distance and angle between infrared devices, and
the applications being used.
Linking to an infrared device
Setting Up an Infrared Transmission
For information about using infrared software and enabling or
disabling infrared ports, refer to the operating system Help files
and to the documentation included with the external infrared
device.
To set up 2 infrared devices, such as the notebook and an optional
printer, for optimal transmission:
■Position the devices so that their infrared ports face each
other at a distance of no more than 3.3 feet (1 meter).
■Position the ports so that they face each other directly. The
maximum capture angle is 30 degrees, so the ports must be
aligned no more than 15 degrees off center vertically or
horizontally.

The OS CD included with your notebook can be used to repair or
reinstall the operating system. Both operations may take 1 to
2 hours to complete.
■Repairing the operating system preserves your data and
settings.
■Reinstalling the operating system deletes all files on the
notebook. After the operating system has been reinstalled, all
device drivers must also be reinstalled.
HP recommends that you try to restore your system by using the
System Restore utility before you consider repairing or
reinstalling your operating system. For restoration instructions,
see “Backing Up and Restoring Data” earlier in this chapter.
If a System Restore restoration fails to restore functionality, first
try to repair the operating system. If the repair procedure does not
restore functionality, you may need to reinstall the operating
system.

notebook.
4. Briefly press the power button to start the notebook.
5. When prompted, press any key to boot from CD. (After a few
minutes, the Welcome to Setup screen is displayed.)

Installing a Retail Version of an
Operating System
The Windows operating system provided on the notebook or
on a restoration CD is enhanced by HP. The HP enhancements
add power and security features and provide supplementary
support for external devices such as drives and PC Cards.
ÄCAUTION: Replacing an operating system enhanced by HP with a
retail version of an operating system will result in the loss of all HP
enhancements. In some cases, the loss of these enhancements may result
in an unresponsive system or the loss of complete USB support.
Using the Setup Utility
The Setup utility is a preinstalled, ROM-based information and
customization utility that can be used even when your operating
system is not working or will not load.
The utility reports information about the notebook and provides
settings for startup, password, port, Setup utility appearance, and
other preferences.
Opening the Setup Utility
To access most settings:
1. Start up or restart the notebook.
2. Before Windows opens and while the F10 = ROM Based
Setup prompt is displayed in the lower left corner of the
screen, press F10.
On some models, you must start up (not restart) the notebook to
access the settings for a hard drive password.
