Who this Manual is For
This manual is for anyone who wants to install accessories in their
HP NetVectra Net PC or Small PC.
Important Ergonomic Information
It is strongly recommended that you read the ergonomic information
before using your Net PC. To view this information you can connect to
HP’s ergonomic web site at http://www.hp.com/ergo.
Important Safety Information
WARNING If you have any doubt that you can lift the Net PC or display safely, do not try
to move it without help.
For your safety, always connect the equipment to a grounded wall outlet.
Always use a power cord with a properly grounded plug, such as the one
provided with this equipment, or one in compliance with your national
regulations. This Net PC is disconnected from the power by removing the
power cord from the power outlet. This means the Net PC must be located
close to a power outlet that is easily accessible.
For your safety, never remove the Net PC’s cover without first removing the
power cord from the power outlet, and any connection to a
telecommunications network. Always replace the cover before switching the
Net PC on again.
To avoid electric shock, do not open the power supply. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly installed. For your
safety, never attempt to recharge, disassemble, or burn the old battery.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. The battery in this Net PC is a lithium battery that does not
contain heavy metals. Nevertheless, in order to protect the environment, do
not dispose of batteries in household waste. Please return used batteries to
the shop from which you bought them, to the dealer from whom you

purchased your Net 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 your Net PC is multimedia or if you add a sound card to your Net PC:
Always turn the volume down before connecting headphones or speakers, to
avoid discomfort from unexpected noise or static. Listening to loud sounds for
prolonged periods of time may permanently damage your hearing. Before
putting on headphones, place them around your neck and turn the volume
down. When you put on the headphones, slowly increase the volume until you
find a comfortable listening level. When you can hear comfortably and clearly,
without distortion, leave the volume control in that position.
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.
