Maintaining Your Software

and Personal Data

HP recommends that you install all software updates as they

become available. However, if your system is connected to a

network, you may need to confer with your Information Services

department before updating system ROM.

Installing a Retail Version of an

Operating System

The Windows operating system included in the QuickRestore

System Recovery CD is enhanced by HP. The enhancements

provide added functionality for power management, security, and

the use of drives and PC Cards.

ÄCAUTION: Replacing an HP enhanced operating system with a retail

version will result in the loss of enhancements added by HP. In some

cases, it may result in system lockups and loss of unsaved

information. In other cases, complete USB support will become

unavailable.

Maintaining Your Software and Personal Data

Virus Protection

If you use the notebook for e-mail or to access the World Wide

Web, you risk infecting the system with a computer virus. You

can protect the notebook from infection by installing antivirus

software.

Several products available on the market will detect the virus,

destroy it, and repair any damage it causes.

Backup Utilities

To protect the information on your notebook and retrieve lost or

damaged files, you should back up your files regularly to

diskettes or other backup media.

To do a partial backup of selected files or folders, use backup

devices such as diskettes. To do a complete hard drive backup,

use tape drives or other high-capacity backup devices.

Maintaining Your Hardware

Your notebook is designed as a durable product. To maintain its

performance and promote longevity, follow these guidelines:

■Carry and store your notebook in a portable carrying case.

ÄCAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the display, do not place

anything on top of the notebook even when it is in the carrying case.

■Keep Zip disks, diskettes, and modular disk drives away from

magnetic fields, which can erase your data.

■Keep liquids and excessive moisture away from your

notebook and keyboard to prevent costly repairs.

ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to internal

components, do not allow liquids to drip onto the notebook keyboard.

■Avoid exposing your notebook to direct sunlight, extreme

temperatures, or ultraviolet light for extended periods of time.

■Use your notebook only on a solid, flat surface. Make sure

that vents, which cool internal components, are unobstructed.

ÄCAUTION: To prevent overheating, do not obstruct the vents. Do not

allow a hard surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a soft

surface, such as fabric or carpet, to block the airflow.

2–2 Maintenance, Shipping and Travel

Maintaining Your Hardware

■If the notebook will not be used for a week or more, shut

it down.

■If the notebook will be disconnected from external power for

more than 2 weeks:

❏Shut down the notebook.

❏Remove all battery packs and store them in a cool, dry

place.

Monitoring Notebook Temperature

ÅWARNING: The notebook is designed to run demanding applications

at full power. As a result of increased power consumption, it is normal

for the notebook to feel warm or hot when used continuously. To avoid

potential discomfort or burns, do not block the air vents or use the

notebook on your lap for extended periods. The notebook complies

with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the

International Standard for Safety of Information Technology

Equipment (IEC 60950).

Cleaning Your Notebook

ÅWARNING: Always disconnect the notebook from the power outlet

and disconnect peripherals before attempting to clean your notebook

or any of its components.

ÅWARNING: Do not spray liquids on your notebook, display, or

keyboard. Liquids and household solvents can permanently damage

your notebook’s finish and interior components.

Cleaning the Keyboard

Clean the keyboard regularly to prevent keys from sticking and to

remove dust, lint, and particles that can become trapped beneath

the keys. Ideally, use a can of compressed air with a straw

extension to blow air in and around the keys.

Cleaning the keyboard

ÄCAUTION: Do not use liquids of any kind on the keyboard, because

they may permanently damage your keyboard. Do not use a regular

vacuum cleaner to clean the keyboard, because you may deposit

normal household debris on the surfaces, rather than remove it.

Maintaining Your Hardware

Cleaning the Display

To remove smudges and lint, frequently clean your display with

a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. If the screen requires additional

cleaning, use an antistatic screen cleaner or premoistened

antistatic wipes.

ÄCAUTION: Never spray water, cleaning fluids, or chemicals on the

screen. This can permanently damage your notebook.

Cleaning the TouchPad

Grease and dirt on the TouchPad can cause your cursor to

jump around on the display screen. To avoid this, wash hands

frequently when using the notebook and clean the TouchPad with

a damp cloth.

Cleaning an External Mouse

Keeping an external mouse clean can substantially improve its

performance and prevent loss of mouse pointer control. To clean

an external mouse, complete the following steps:

1. Turn the mouse over and rotate the circular plate about

1/4-inch counterclockwise until it pops loose. Most mice

have an arrow to indicate the direction to turn the plate.
