COMPAQ PRESARIO DESKTOP PRODUCTS

Warranty and License Information

To Our Valued Customer

Congratulations on your decision to purchase a Compaq Presario PC! During development, the

Compaq Presario must pass extensive quality tests to meet the rigorous standards that have made

Compaq famous for quality and reliability.

All Compaq Presarios 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 Compaq Presario 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 Compaq Presario. 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 Compaq Customer Support Center listed earlier in this Warranty and Support Guide, and a

Compaq Customer Representative will assist you. This must be done first before attempting to

upgrade your system.

By breaking the security seal on the back of the Compaq Presario, you are confirming that the

Compaq Presario was working properly before you attempted to upgrade your system. Once the

security seal has been broken, your Compaq Presario 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 Compaq Presario. We hope you enjoy discovering the exciting things

you can do with it!

Compaq Customer Support

Easy to reach. Easy to use. Award-winning Compaq Customer Support is our promise to help you

get the most from your Compaq Presario. Whether with tools located on your PC, from information

on the Web, by phone, or through your local retailer, you’ll find what you need.

Problems? Compaq Will Help

Your new Compaq Presario computer is built to work right now — and for many years to come. But

it is a complex, powerful machine, and sometimes things go wrong. If that happens to your

computer, Compaq is ready to help.

Getting Started

Follow the Quick Setup poster and the Getting Started guide for help with setting up and using

your PC.

Register Your PC

It is always best to register your PC. This allows for quicker help when you need it. You can register

your PC by the electronic registration program that automatically starts when you first turn on your

PC. Or, you can register on the Web at http://register.hp.com

See What You Can Do

There’s lots of helpful information included with your Compaq Presario. First look at Help on your

Windows® desktop (to access it, click Start on the taskbar). It contains more detailed help and will

give you suggestions on how to fix the problem.

Within the Help and Support Center, you can get the latest news from Compaq about your PC. Be

sure to also check the updates from Compaq that are sent to your desktop from time to time.

Next, try a little surfing! The Compaq Web site has updated software, tips and tricks, answers for

common problems, and other information. Go to http://www.compaq.com.au/support/ and

search for your Compaq Presario model.

Call Compaq Customer Support Center

Finally, if these steps don’t help, you can reach a real, knowledgeable person by calling the

Compaq Customer Support Center in your area. Phone assistance to get you up and running is free

for 30 days from the time you purchased your computer. After 30 days, there may be a charge,

but the helpful support is still available.

And, if Necessary: Get Repair

If your computer needs to be repaired or to have parts replaced, you have two choices.

1 You can easily replace many of your Compaq Presario parts that are considered consumer

replaceable. This is the fastest method of repair, as many times we can send the part directly to

your home or business in a few days. This service is free for one year from the date you

purchased your computer.

2 If a repair is necessary, the Compaq Customer Support Center will make arrangements to fix

your computer. This service is free for one year from the date you purchased your computer.

There are a few limitations and exclusions to this warranty (as well as some important details),

which are described in the following section.

The Legal Language

Compaq Limited Warranty Statement

COMPAQ PRODUCT DURATION OF LIMITED WARRANTY

Hardware — Parts and Labor: 1 Year

Phone assistance to get you up-and-running: 30 days

Compaq warrants to you, the end-user customer, that Compaq hardware, accessories, and supplies

will be free from defects in materials and workmanship after the date of purchase, for the period

specified above. If Compaq receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, Compaq

will, at its option, either repair or replace products which prove to be defective. Replacement

products may be either new or equivalent in performance to new.

Compaq warrants to you that Compaq software will not fail to execute its programming instructions

after the date of purchase, for the period specified above, due to defects in material and

workmanship when properly installed and used. If Compaq receives notice of such defects during

the warranty period, Compaq will replace software which does not execute its programming

instructions due to such defects.

Compaq does not warrant that the operation of Compaq products will be uninterrupted or error

free. If Compaq is unable, within a reasonable time, to repair or replace any product to a

condition as warranted, you will be entitled to a refund of the purchase price on a prorated basis

upon prompt return of the product.

Compaq products may contain remanufactured parts equivalent to new in performance or may

have been subject to incidental use.

Revision #: 26 Page: 7 of 18 Printed: 01/17/03 10:23 AM

Warranty does not apply to defects resulting from (a) improper or inadequate maintenance or

calibration, (b) software, interfacing, parts, or supplies not supplied by Compaq, (c) unauthorized

modification or misuse, (d) computer viruses of any origin, (e) operation outside of the published

environmental specifications for the product, (f) improper site preparation or maintenance or

(g) unplanned acts of nature, such as floods, tornadoes, lightning strikes, hurricanes, or

earthquakes. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE

EXCLUSIVE AND NO OTHER WARRANTY OR CONDITION, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, IS

EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED AND COMPAQ SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES

OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A

PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some countries/regions, states, or provinces do not allow limitations on the

duration of an implied warranty, so the above limitation or exclusion might not apply to you. This

warranty gives you specific legal rights and you might also have other rights that vary from

country/region to country/region, state to state, or province to province.

Compaq’s limited warranty is valid in any country/region or locality where Compaq has a support

presence for this product and where Compaq has marketed this product. The level of warranty

service you receive may vary according to local standards. Compaq will not alter form, fit, or

function of the product to make it operate in a country/region for which it was never intended to

function for legal or regulatory reasons.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, THE REMEDIES IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT

ARE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. EXCEPT AS INDICATED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT

WILL COMPAQ OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF DATA OR FOR DIRECT, SPECIAL,

INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST PROFIT OR DATA), OR OTHER DAMAGE,

WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. Some countries/regions, states, or

provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the

above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

THE WARRANTY TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY

PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT, OR MODIFY AND ARE IN ADDITION TO THE

MANDATORY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF THIS PRODUCT TO YOU.

Network Interface Cards

Compaq warrants the operation on a network interface card (NIC), only if factory preinstalled by

Compaq, as follows: Compaq will make sure the correct drivers are installed; Compaq will make

sure that the Compaq Presario recognizes the NIC. NO CONNECTIVITY ISSUES ARE SUPPORTED.

Software Media (CDs)

The software CDs that come with your system are warranted to be free from defects for one year.

Any claims for missing CDs need to be made within 30 days. Any claims for defective CDs may

require the exchange of the CDs.

Customer Responsibilities

You may be required to run Compaq-supplied diagnostic programs before an in-home visit will be

scheduled or a replacement part will be dispatched.

You are responsible for the security of your proprietary and confidential information and for

maintaining a procedure external to the products for reconstruction of lost or altered files, data, or

programs. You should back up all data on your system before calling the Compaq Customer

Support Center.

For In-home service, you must provide: access to the product; adequate working space and

facilities within a reasonable distance of the product; access to and use of all information and

facilities determined necessary by Compaq to service the product; and operating supplies and

consumables such as you would use during normal operation.

Revision #: 26 Page: 8 of 18 Printed: 01/17/03 10:23 AM

When service is being performed in-home, you or your representative, 18 years of age or older,

must be present at all times. You must state if the product is being used in an environment which

poses a potential health hazard to repair personnel; Compaq may require that the product be

maintained by customer personnel under direct Compaq supervision. Compaq may also refuse to

provide In-home service in special circumstances and will provide an alternative repair method such

as Carry-in repair.

Obtaining Hardware Warranty Repair Service

For the duration of the one-year parts and labor warranty, repair service includes Consumer-

replaceable Parts services, Carry-in services, and In-home services as described below. To obtain

hardware warranty service, call the Compaq Customer Support Center. You must be prepared to

supply the proof-of-purchase date.

The time it takes to repair your computer will vary based upon location and circumstances. The

phone agent can supply more details.

Consumer-Replaceable Parts Services

Consumer-replaceable components — such as the keyboard, mouse, speakers, and monitor — may

be serviced through expedited part shipment. In this event, Compaq will send you the component

and, if necessary, telephone assistance on replacement of the component. In some cases, Compaq

will ask for a credit card as collateral for the part (such as monitors) and will charge you for the

retail price of the part if the failed product is not returned within 30 days.

Carry-In Services

Hardware service during the one-year warranty period is provided by bringing or mailing your PC

to a Compaq Presario authorized service provider. The Compaq Customer Support Center can

provide you with details on the location nearest you.

In-Home Services

In-home service in Australia and New Zealand is available with certain products only, and is

unavailable in certain locations. Compaq Technical Support can give you more information.

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to

proper electrical grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the

lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location

of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements

for the grounding electrode.

Lightning Protection

For added protection of any Compaq product during a lightning storm, or when it

is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the product from the

wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage

to the product from lightning and power line surges.
