Step 6: Register your notebook
Be sure to register your notebook. Registering is free and fast, and ensures you will
receive quicker, more personalized support. The information you provide during
registration allows us to provide you with better products and services.
Registering your notebook does the following:
?? Records your ownership of the notebook with Hewlett-Packard and provides access to
service, support, and information.
?? Records your ownership of the Windows XP operating system with Microsoft.
You can register while setting up Windows, or later in any of three ways: by modem, by
phone, or by fax. For some countries and models, an HP notebook registration icon is
available on the desktop.
By modem
If you decide not to register while setting up Windows, you can register by modem later
by double-clicking the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop. Make sure the
phone line is connected and follow the onscreen instructions. The icon disappears after
you register.
If your notebook does not have a built-in modem, you can register after you set up a PC
card modem or an external modem—or you can register by phone or fax.
By phone
You can register by calling your HP Customer Care Center. See “To contact HP for
support or service” on page 125 for the phone number.
By fax
If you have a printer connected to your notebook, you can print a registration form and
fax it to HP. Double-click the HP Notebook Registration icon on the desktop, and print
the registration form. You will find the fax number on the form.
To connect to the Internet
If your notebook has a modem (built-in, PC Card, or external), LAN port, or wireless
LAN, you can use it to connect to the Internet. For details, see “Using the Modem” on
page 54, “Connecting to a LAN” on page 60, or “Making Wireless Network
Connections” on page 61.
