Chapter 1 •Setting Up Your System 1

Thank you for choosing a Hewlett-Packard

Pavilion PC. To maximize your comfort and

productivity, it is important that you set up and

use your system properly.

Finding a Place for

Your Computer

Keep these recommendations in mind when you

choose a place for your computer:

◆ Choose a room that is dry, clean, and well

ventilated.

◆ Place the computer on a strong, flat surface

with enough space to move the mouse around.

◆ Provide access to the back of the computer

and the display during setup.

◆ Use grounded, three-prong electrical outlets

for the computer and display. HP recommends

that you also use a power strip with surge

protection.

◆ Place the computer near a phone jack so that

you can connect the modem. The modem is

needed to send and receive faxes and e-mail,

and to log on to the Internet.

◆ Consider the location of the windows in the

room—if the display reflects direct sunlight,

viewing the display may be uncomfortable.

2HP Pavilion PC User’s Guide

Putting Your

Computer Together

For step-by-step instructions on putting your

computer together, refer to the Welcome Poster

that came in your computer box. You’ll notice that

the colors of the cable plugs match the colors

of the connector labels on the back of your

computer. When in doubt, match the colors.

Getting Comfortable

Refer to the manual Working in Comfort With

Your HP Computer Equipment, which was

provided with your HP Pavilion PC, for important

ergonomic information.

Note: You should take frequent, short breaks while

using the computer; we suggest you take a break after

15 to 20 minutes on the computer. Stretch each time

you take a break. If you experience physical discomfort,

it may be alleviated by ergonomically designed

accessories such as adjustable chairs, footrests,

keyboard trays, wrist rests, and glare screens.

Chapter 1 •Setting Up Your System 3

Your System is Working

When you first turn on your computer, a series

of startup screens, including a mouse tutorial,

appears, and then you see the Microsoft®

Windows® 95 desktop. Your computer is now

set up.

Double-click the Free Game icon on the desktop.

In addition to giving you a free game, this

procedure will guide you through the steps

necessary to register. It is important to register

with HP, so that you can be notified of changes

and updates for your HP Pavilion PC.

After you register online, a roadmap points out

and describes several important icons on your

desktop. For further information on Personal

Guide and HP Support Center, see the next

chapter.

If Your System is Not Working

If one or more of your system components

are not working properly, see Chapter 5,

“Troubleshooting,” beginning on page 33.

Chapter 2 •Starting Out with HP 5

To help you get started, HP provides simple solutions for discovering

your software, learning Windows 95, getting support, and using the

Internet. The following table describes these solutions.

Note:

folder

This folder contains descriptions of various preinstalled applications HP provides on your PC. Look

here to learn a little about the applications before using them.

Learning

Windows 95

Personal

Guide

Explorer. It gives you answers to frequently asked Windows 95 questions, and also gives you quick

access to the Internet and the HP Support Center.

Getting HP

support

HP Support

Center

The HP Support Center provides you with online documentation, tutorials, diagnostics, system tools,

and answers to frequently asked questions. Check your disk for viruses, make more room on your

hard drive, recover lost or damaged HP programs, and contact technical support personnel from the

HP Support Center. An online diagnostic tool (SystemWizard) will take you through a sequence of

questions for problem identification and offer possible solutions. If you don’t solve the problem this

way, whatever you have tried so far is recorded for your support person to look at when you call.

Using the

Internet

Access

An Internet service provider has been provided. Upon registration, you will receive 50 free hours to

use the Internet with HP’s customized browser. Be sure to explore the HP At Home Web site,

designed for HP Pavilion PC owners. To access the Internet, double-click the Internet Access icon

on your Windows 95 desktop.

The following sections describe the solutions in more detail.
