2 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.

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 is

located on the web at

http://www.hp.com/ergo.

1. Place the computer so that all ventilation openings are unobstructed and

cabling is not in a walkway or where it can be stepped on or damaged by

placing furniture on it.

2. Connect all power cords from the monitor, computer, and accessories to a

power surge protection device that is specifically labeled as having surge

protection, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), or a similar device. If the

computer has a television tuner, or a modem or telephone connection, protect

the computer by using surge protection with these signal inputs as well.

Connect the television cable or the telephone line cord to the surge protection

device, and then connect the device to the computer.

3. Download and install operating system updates.

3 Setting up additional features

Using Beats Audio™ (select models only)

Your HP TouchSmart PC features audio connectors (headphone and Audio Out )

that are optimized for Beats Audio™ headphones and external audio systems

(purchased separately). Select HP TouchSmart PC models also include four Beats-

optimized internal speakers and a Beats toggle button

on the keyboard.

Your computer comes ready for you to experience music with Beats enabled. To

disable Beats, press the Beats toggle button; the Beats-off icon appears on the

screen. To turn Beats on, press the Beats toggle button again. If your keyboard

does not contain the Beats toggle button, press Fn+B to enable and disable Beats.

Tap the Beats icon on the system tray to view the Beats user interface.

All you need to do is plug the Beats Audio headphones into the side headphone

connector to experience crisp and clear sound separation. To experience the full

capability of BEATS audio using the internal speakers, HP recommends connecting

a matching HP subwoofer to the Sub connector on the back panel. If you are using

an external audio system, plug it into the Audio Out connector on the back panel.

Using the HDMI port controls (select models only)

The right side of your computer may contain an HDMI port and volume control

buttons. Unless a device is plugged into the HDMI port, the volume controls have

no functionality. The HDMI controls are only intended to control the settings of the

device plugged into that port, and do not control any other media devices on the

system.

To use the HDMI port controls, plug a device into the HDMI port. Press the menu

button (the top button displayed). A new on-screen menu displays. Using the +/-

buttons, select brightness, volume, contrast, or color balance.

When a device is plugged into the HDMI port, the volume on the computer is

muted. Pressing the +/- buttons on the side panel does not change the volume of

the computer.

4 Maintaining your computer

Cleaning procedures

Keeping your computer system free of dust, dirt, and heat will prolong its life.

●

Dust, pet hair, and other particles can build up, creating a blanket effect; as a result, components can

overheat or, in the case of the keyboard and mouse, not work smoothly and effectively.

●

Check your system once a month for visible signs of dust and debris, and clean it about once every three

months.

●

Visit

www.hp.com/go/contactHP for additional cleaning instructions.

Cleaning the computer

vents

Air vents keep the computer cool. Keep these vents clean by using a small, battery-

powered vacuum cleaner. (A battery-powered vacuum cleaner eliminates the risk of

electric shock.)

1. Vacuum the vents on the computer case.

2. Remove any debris that has accumulated in and around the computer

connectors (for example, the Ethernet and USB connectors).

Cleaning procedures

7

Cleaning the keyboard and

mouse

When cleaning the keyboard keys, use a low setting on a battery-powered vacuum

cleaner, to avoid removing key caps and springs.

1. Vacuum between the keys of the keyboard and along the grooves.

2. Use a clean, dry cloth and isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol to clean buildup on the

keyboard keys and along its edges.

3. Wipe the body of the mouse and the mouse cord by using cleaning wipes.

If you have a roller-ball mouse, clean the ball and rollers inside:

1. Turn the mouse upside down, and rotate the ball-cover ring counterclockwise

to remove the ring and release the roller ball.

2. Rinse the roller ball with soap and warm water.

3. Clean the rollers inside the mouse with a cotton swab dampened with

isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.

4. After the roller ball and rollers are completely dry, replace the ball and ball-

cover ring.

Cleaning the touch screen

(AiO models only)

Follow these steps to clean the touch screen:

1. Turn off the computer. Tap the Start button, and then tap Shut Down.

2. Disconnect the power cord from the wall.

3. Spray a small amount of mild glass cleaner on a soft cloth to clean the touch

screen.

4. Wipe the surface and left and right side of the touch screen to remove any

dirt, fingerprints, or other debris that could hinder the touch recognition of the

screen.

CAUTION:

Do not spray or place the cleaner directly on the screen; spray the

cleaner into the cloth, and then wipe the sides and surface of the touch screen.

Do not use an abrasive cleaner or cloth when cleaning the sides or the surface of

the screen, because this could cause damage to the touch screen.

work or is not

detected.

●

Ensure that you are using the wireless keyboard or wireless mouse within range of the

receiver, approximately 3 met

ers (10 feet) for normal use, and within 30 cm (12

inche

s) during initial setup or for re-synchronization.

●

Ensure that the mouse is not in Suspend mode, which occurs after 20 minutes of

inactivity. Click the left mouse button to reactivate it.

●

Replace the batteries in the keyboard and mouse.

●

Re-synchronize the keyboard and mouse to the receiver using the following steps.

Speakers and sound

Symptom Possible solution

No sound is

produced.

For Windows 7:

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Action Center, and then click

Troubleshooting.

2. Under Hardware and Sound, click Troubleshoot and audio playback.

If you are using built-in monitor speakers, use the monitor front-panel Volume button to

adjust volume. Use the front-panel buttons to enter the on-screen display (OSD) and ensure

that audio is enabled and that the volume is set appropriately.

Ensure that you connected powered (active) speakers and that they are turned on.

To resume from Sleep mode, press the Sleep button (select models only), or press Esc.

Unplug headphones if they are connected to your computer (or speaker system).

Volume is very low

or unsatisfactory.

Ensure that you connected the speakers to the Audio Out (lime green) connector on the

back of the computer. (Additional audio connectors are used for multiple-channel

speakers.) Detached non-powered speakers (speakers without a separate power source,

such as batteries or a power cord) do not produce satisfactory sound. Replace the non-

powered speakers with powered speakers.

Internet access

Symptom Possible solution

Internet programs do

not start

automatically.

Log in to your ISP, and start the desired program.

14 Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Symptom Possible solution

I cannot connect to

the Internet.

For Windows 7:

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Action Center, and then click

Troubleshooting.

2. Under Network and Internet, click Connect to the Internet.

Verify that you are using the proper cables for your Internet connection type. Your

computer might have a dial-up modem and an Ethernet network adapter (also called a

network interface card, or NIC). A modem uses a standard telephone cable, whereas the

network adapter uses a network cable, to connect to a local area network (LAN). Do not

connect a telephone cable to the network adapter, and do not plug a network cable into a

telephone service line; doing so might damage the network adapter.

Run the wireless setup wizard:

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet, and then click

Network and Sharing Center.

2. In the Network and Sharing Center window, click Set up a connection or

network to open the wizard, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

If your system has an external antenna, try to move the antenna to a better position. If the

antenna is internal, try to move the computer.

Try to connect again later, or contact your Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.

Software troubleshooting

To repair

software

problems, try

these methods:

●

Turn the computer off completely and then turn it on again. This is the easiest (and

sometimes the best) way.

●

Update the drivers (see Updating device drivers, following).

●

Use Microsoft System Restore Software program and hardware driver reinstallation (see

Microsoft System Restore, later in this table). — Restores your computer to a configuration

that was in use before the software was installed.

●

Reinstall the software program or hardware driver (see Software program and hardware

driver reinstallation, later in this table). — Restores the software (if it came with the

product) or hardware driver to factory defaults.

●

System Recovery (see Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide on your computer. At the

bottom of your screen, click on Start, then click HP Help and Support and HP User

Manuals. ) — Erase and reformat the hard disk drive, and then reinstall the operating

system, programs, and drivers. This erases all data files you have created.

Software troubleshooting

15
