HP PAVILION P7-1020RU [9/33] Setting up your computer

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to your

equipment:

• Place the computer in a location away from water, dust, moisture, and soot.

These can increase the inside temperature, or can cause fire or electrocution.

• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an

important safety feature.

• Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at

all times.

• Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the

electrical outlet. To prevent direct exposure to laser beam, do not try to open the

enclosure of the CD or DVD drives.

• The power supply is preset for the country/region in which you purchased your

computer. If you move, check the voltage requirements for your new location

before plugging the computer into an AC power outlet.

WARNING! The computer may be heavy; be sure to use ergonomically correct

lifting procedures when moving the computer.

To reduce the risk of serious injury read the Safety & Comfort Guide. The guide

protection device, and then connect the device to the computer.
