Power and battery

The battery is factory-sealed and not user-replaceable. To charge, connect the AC adapter to the computer. The battery light indicates status: white (charged), amber (charging), or blinking amber (low battery).

Printing

You can print using the built-in ChromeOS solution or the HP Print for Chrome app. For the built-in solution, search for "set up printer" in the ChromeOS settings. For the HP app, install it from the Chrome Web Store.

Backing up, resetting, and recovering

If your system is not working properly, you can reset or recover the operating system.

• Resetting (Powerwash): Erases user data and resets settings. Go to Settings > Advanced > Powerwash.
• Recovering: Reinstalls the operating system. This requires a USB flash drive or SD card (4GB+) and internet access. Use the "ChromeOS is missing or damaged" screen to initiate recovery (press esc+f3 and the power button).
