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.
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.

ENERGY STAR compliance
HP computers marked with the ENERGY STAR® logo are qualified with the applicable U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR specifications for computers. The EPA
ENERGY STAR logo does not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Hewlett-
Packard Company has determined that the products marked with the ENERGY STAR logo are ENERGY
STAR qualified as per the applicable ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. The following
logo will appear 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/

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).
Battery notices
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.
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.
Heat-related safety warning notice 23
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.
