Charging a New Battery Pack

The battery pack you inserted earlier begins to charge as soon as

the notebook is connected to external power. Charge status is

indicated by the battery light.

■The battery light is on and amber while a battery pack

inserted into the notebook is charging.

■The battery light is on and green when a battery pack inserted

into the notebook is fully charged.

Compaq recommends that you leave the notebook connected

to external power until the battery pack is fully charged and

the battery light turns green. (A partially charged new battery

pack can run the notebook after initial software setup is

complete, but battery charge displays will not be accurate

until the new battery pack has been fully charged.)

Setting Up the Software

ÄCAUTION: To prevent file corruption and ensure that the correct drivers

are installed, install software only when the notebook is connected to

external power through the AC adapter. During the installation:

■Do not unplug the notebook from external power.

■Do not shut down the notebook or initiate Standby or Hibernation.

■Do not insert, remove, connect, or disconnect any device, cable,

or cord.

Installing Basic Software

When the notebook is connected to external power and turned on

for the first time, a prompt to set up the operating system and

other basic software is displayed on the screen.

Before responding to the prompt and proceeding through the

on-screen instructions, read the following caution and other

installation information.

■After beginning the software setup, you must complete the

entire process without interruption. Setup time varies.

■If you are prompted to select a language, choose carefully. On

some models, the languages that you do not choose are

deleted from the system and cannot be restored during the

installation.

■Regional settings and most other preferences that you may

select as you set up the basic software can be selected or

changed later, after the operating system is installed.

■When you are prompted to accept the End User License

Agreement, you must choose Accept to continue the

software setup.

✎During setup, it is normal for some notebook models to pause

occasionally for up to 2 minutes and to restart several times.

These pauses and restarts occur only during initial software setup.

They will not occur during standard Windows startups.
