shop from which you bought them, to the dealer from whom you purchased

your PC, or to HP so they can either be recycled or disposed of in a sound way.

Returned used batteries will be accepted free of charge.

If you have a modem:

Do not attempt to connect this product to the phone line during a lightning

storm. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the telephone line

has been disconnected at the network interface. Never touch uninsulated

telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected

at the network interface. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone

lines. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an lightning

storm. There may be a risk from lightning.

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Never touch or remove the Communications board without first removing the

connection to the telephone network.
