If you need to recover the online User’s Guide
• If you have deleted the online User’s Guide but would like to access it, you can
restore it from the Recovery CD-ROM.
Run: omnibook\hputil\disk1\setup.exe.
If the OmniBook doesn’t turn on with a fresh battery
• If you replaced the battery after the OmniBook turned off due to a low battery,
either plug in the ac adapter—or turn off the OmniBook, then hold
F4 and press
the On/Off key (
F4+ON) to turn it on.
If your password doesn’t work
• Check whether Num Lock is off. Try changing it.
• If you’ve forgotten your password, have your OmniBook at hand and call
Hewlett-Packard at the phone number in the Service and Support booklet.
If the OmniBook beeps repeatedly
• If two beeps occur every 10 seconds or so, battery power is critically low and
less than 2 minutes of operation remain. Plug in the ac adapter—or turn off the
OmniBook and insert a fresh battery.
If the computer seems slow
• Check that Cache is enabled (in the System Configuration Utility, open the
System menu and check Enable Cache).
• You might need to install more RAM. The memory-expansion boards are HP
part numbers F1167A (8 MB), F1168A (16 MB), and F1169A (32 MB).
If you cannot install Windows NT 3.51
• In the System Configuration Utility, under the System menu, Boot Devices,
enable the checkbox Force PCI Bridge Configuration.
