Products with HP Mobile Broadband Modules
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY
RADIATION.
The HP Mobile Broadband Module in your notebook is a radio transmitter and receiver. The device is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international
guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines that establish permitted levels
of RF radiation for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The device also meets
the European R&TTE directives, including the protection of the health and the safety of the user and
any other person.
European Union Regulatory notices 5
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR).* The SAR was obtained by testing the device at standard operating positions
with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
actual SAR of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value, because the device
operates at multiple power levels and uses only the power required to reach the network.
When installed in the notebook computer, this device meets RF exposure guidelines when the
antennas are positioned at a minimum distance from the body. In order to transmit data or messages,
this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data or
messages may be delayed until such a connection becomes available. Be sure that the
recommended distance is observed until the transmission is complete.
*The non-FCC, international guidelines state that the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public
is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and
the network band.
This equipment incorporates a radio transmitting device. In normal use, a separation distance of 20
cm ensures that radio frequency exposure levels comply with the Australian and New Zealand
Standards.

ENERGY STAR compliance
As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Hewlett-Packard Company has followed the EPA’s enhanced product
qualification and certification process to ensure that the products marked with the ENERGY STAR
logo are ENERGY STAR qualified per the applicable ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy
efficiency. The following logo appears on all ENERGY STAR-qualified computers:
The ENERGY STAR program for computers was created by the EPA to promote energy efficiency
and reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in homes, offices, and factories.
One way that products achieve this goal is by using the Microsoft® Windows® power management
feature to reduce power consumption when the product is not in use.
The power management feature allows the computer to initiate a low-power or “Sleep” mode after a
period of user inactivity. When used with an external ENERGY STAR qualified monitor, this feature
also supports similar power management features of the monitor. To take advantage of these
potential energy savings, the power management feature has been preset to behave in the following
ways when the system is operating on AC power:
●Turn off the display after 15 minutes
●Initiate Sleep after 30 minutes
The computer exits Sleep when the power/Sleep button is pressed. When the Wake On LAN (WOL)
feature is enabled, the computer can also exit Sleep in response to a network signal.
Additional information on the potential energy and financial savings of the power management feature
can be found on the EPA ENERGY STAR Power Management Web site at
http://www.energystar.gov/powermanagement.
Additional information on the ENERGY STAR program and its environmental benefits are available

2 Safety notices
Heat-related safety warning notice
WARNING! To reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries or of overheating the computer, do not
place the computer directly on your lap or obstruct the computer air vents. Use the computer only on
a hard, flat surface. Do not allow another hard surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a soft
surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, to block airflow. Also, do not allow the AC adapter to
contact the skin or a soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, during operation. The computer
and the AC adapter comply with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the
International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment (IEC 60950).
Potential safety conditions notice
If you notice any of the following conditions (or if you have other safety concerns), do not use the
computer: crackling, hissing, or popping sound, or a strong odor or smoke coming from the computer.
It is normal for these conditions to appear when an internal electronic component fails in a safe and
controlled manner. However, these conditions may also indicate a potential safety issue. Do not
assume it is a safe failure. Turn off the computer, disconnect it from its power source, and contact
technical support for assistance.
User-replaceable battery notices
WARNING! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the instructions.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, or puncture; do not short
external contacts; do not dispose of in fire or water.
WARNING! Keep the battery away from children.
WARNING! To reduce potential safety issues, only the battery provided with the computer, a
replacement battery provided by HP, or a compatible battery purchased as an accessory from HP
should be used with the computer.
18 Chapter 2 Safety notices
Headset and earphone volume level notice
WARNING! Listening to music at high volume levels and for extended durations can damage one’s
hearing. To reduce the risk of hearing damage, lower the volume to a safe, comfortable level and
reduce the amount of time listening at high levels.
For your own safety, before using headsets or earphones, always reset the volume. Some
headphones are louder than other headphones, even if the volume control setting is the same.
Changing the default audio or equalizer settings might lead to higher volume and should only be done
with caution.
For your own safety, headsets or earphones used with this product should comply with the
headphone limits in EN 50332-2.
If the computer includes a headset or earphones, this combination is in compliance to EN 50332-1.
Power cord notices
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
Disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet (not by
unplugging the power cord from the computer).
If provided with a 3-pin attachment plug on the power cord, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed) 3-
pin outlet. Do not disable the power cord grounding pin, for example, by attaching a 2-pin adapter.
The grounding pin is an important safety feature.
WARNING! To reduce potential safety issues, only the AC adapter provided with the computer, a
replacement AC adapter provided by HP, or an AC adapter purchased as an accessory from HP
should be used with the computer.
Cleaning the keyboard
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to internal components, do not use a
vacuum cleaner attachment to clean the keyboard. A vacuum cleaner can deposit household debris
on the keyboard surface. Clean the keyboard regularly to prevent keys from sticking and to remove
dust, lint, and particles that can become trapped beneath the keys. A can of compressed air with a
straw extension can be used to blow air around and under the keys to loosen and remove debris.
Travel notice
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to
power the computer with a voltage converter kit sold for appliances.
