Power Settings
Basic power settings help conserve energy or enhance computer performance. You can also customize
power settings for your computer hardware. For example, you can set your computer to go to sleep after a
specified period of inactivity.
If the computer is in Sleep mode, it “wakes up,” or re-loads faster than when in Hibernate mode, but your
data is less safe. If, for example, a power outage occurs in Sleep mode, unsaved data would be lost.
Hibernate mode (select models only) puts the computer into a deeper sleep, with more energy savings. In
Hibernate mode, all peripheral power shuts down and all data is saved to your hard drive. When the
computer comes out of Hibernate mode, your previous session is restored. This process takes a little longer
than awakening from Sleep mode (but less time than if you had shut down), and is considered a safer state
for data.
You can put the computer into Sleep mode in several ways. Press the Power/Sleep button on the top right
of the computer, press the Sleep button on remote control, or press the Sleep button on the upper left of
your keyboard.
Or
Tap the Start button, tap the arrow button next to the Shut Down button, and then select Sleep.
To change power settings:
1Tap the Start button, and then tap Control Panel.
2Tap Hardware and Sound.
3Tap Power Options.
4Choose a power option. Power options include settings that determine when the computer sleeps or
hibernates, and the overall level of energy savings versus performance.
Turning off the monitor for power savings
If you are leaving for some time but want to keep the computer running, you can turn off the monitor for
further power savings.
Press the function (Fn) key on the keyboard, and simultaneously press the F9 key to turn off the monitor.
The computer continues to run.
Press Fn + F9 again to turn the monitor on.
Adjusting Screen Display
Adjust screen display features:
1To make adjustments to your screen, tap the Start button, Control Panel, and then tap
Appearance and Personalization.
2Choose an option to change the look of your desktop.
You can choose to change the desktop background or the screen saver. There is an option to turn high
contrast on or off, various options to accommodate low vision, and more.
To change screen brightness using the keyboard:
Press the Fn key on the keyboard and simultaneously press the F10 key to reduce screen brightness.
Press the Fn key and simultaneously press the F11 key to increase brightness.
24 User Guide (Features may vary by model)
To turn off the monitor from the keyboard:
Press the Fn key and simultaneously press the F9 key to turn off the monitor if you are leaving for some
time. The computer continues to run; this is a power-saving feature.
Press Fn + F9 again to turn the monitor on again.
Installing a Security Lock
A security lock (sold separately) enables you to secure your computer from theft and unwanted changes.
A security lock is a key lock device that has a wire cable attached. You attach one end of the cable to your
desk (or other stationary object) and the other to the security slot on the computer. Secure the security lock
with the key.

Cleaning the HP TouchSmart PC Screen
Before cleaning the touch screen, you must disable it by turning off the computer. If the computer is not
turned off, the touch screen is enabled, and you could lose data while cleaning it.
For optimal touch performance, the HP TouchSmart PC screen requires periodic cleaning to remove any
particles on the sides and surface of the screen. The touch screen has a glass surface that can be cleaned
by using the cleaning cloth that came with your HP TouchSmart PC. You can also use a soft cloth or paper
towel dampened with a typical household glass cleaner to clean the touch screen.
To achieve the best touch sensitivity, keep the screen clean from foreign objects. Avoid excessive dust
accumulation on all sides and edges of the screen.
To clean the touch screen:
1Turn off the computer. Tap the Start button, and then tap Shut Down.
2Disconnect the power cord from the wall.
3Spray a small amount of a mild glass cleaner onto the cleaning cloth that came with your
HP TouchSmart PC. You can also use a soft cloth or paper towel dampened with a typical household
glass cleaner to clean the touch screen.
4Wipe the surface and each side of the touch screen to remove any dirt, fingerprints, or other debris
that could hinder the touch recognition of the screen.
.
Using the HP TouchSmart with Safety and Comfort
Before you begin using the computer, arrange the computer and your work area to maintain your comfort
and productivity. Refer to the Safety & Comfort Guide for important ergonomic information: visit
www.hp.com/ergo on the Web.
Locate the TouchSmart monitor in the room to minimize glare from the screen. You can also reduce glare by
tilting the monitor.
The TouchSmart screen can be used as an input device; therefore, the monitor should be placed so that
your shoulders and neck are comfortable.
The monitor may need to be moved close to your body to keep your shoulders relaxed while you are
touching the screen. Keep your shoulders low and your upper arm close to your body when you touch the
screen. The more the screen is used for input, the more important this is. One way to move the monitor
closer to you is by placing the keyboard under the monitor.
You can position the monitor in a variety of ways to provide a balance between relaxing your shoulders
and keeping your head balanced comfortably over your neck. If you feel discomfort in your shoulders, try
moving the monitor closer to your body or lowering the height of the monitor by lowering the work surface.
If you feel discomfort in your upper back muscles and neck, try increasing the height of the monitor by
increasing the work surface height.
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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It describes
proper workstation setup, posture, and health and work habits for computer users. It also
provides important electrical and mechanical safety information.

Touch Techniques Outside HP TouchSmart Software
To use software and navigate the Windows desktop, you can use the touch screen, keyboard, mouse, or
remote control (included with select models only).
Some tasks, such as HP TouchSmart programs, browsing the Internet, or accessing your favorite programs,
are better suited to the touch screen. Others are better suited to the keyboard. When you use the Windows
Media Center program to watch and record TV programs, the remote control is the best choice.
Tablet input panel (onscreen keyboard)
Use the tablet input panel (onscreen keyboard) to enter text using touch. It can also recognize your
handwriting and convert it to typewritten text.
Access an input panel by tapping inside an input dialog, and then tapping the keypad icon to open the
handwriting, touch, and text input tool. If you do not see the input panel or if you want to adjust your touch
settings, tap the Start button, tap Control Panel, tap Mobile PC, and then tap Pen and Input
Devices. Select the setting to enable the Input Panel.
You can also tap the Start button, tap All Programs, tap Accessories, and find the input panel.
HP TouchSmart Tiles
When you open HP TouchSmart software, you see a row of large tiles and a row of small tiles below that.
Tiles are shortcuts to software programs, features in HP TouchSmart, or links to Web sites. Use the large tile
area for programs you use often, and use the small tiles for the rest of your program shortcuts.
Move these tiles around with your finger by dragging a tile up and out of a row and dropping it to a new
location. The tile appears as a transparent image as it moves. You can move the large tiles down to the
small tile area or the small tiles up to the large tile area.
CAUTION: Because the HP TouchSmart touch screen uses a sensitive touch technology, to avoid
damaging the touch screen, do not apply pressure on the front of the display bezel or around
the screen borders.
CAUTION: To achieve the best touch sensitivity, keep the screen clean of foreign objects. Avoid
excessive dust accumulation on all sides of the screen.
CAUTION: Like any other home electronic product, keep the HP TouchSmart PC away from
liquids or a harsh environment that contains excessive dust, heat, or humidity.
NOTE: Software that you purchase and install separately is accessible by the touch screen, but some
programs may be easier to use with a keyboard or mouse.
NOTE: Handwriting recognition is not available in all languages. If your language is not available, you
can use the onscreen keyboard to enter text.
