Starting Hit Points at Level 1

[Arcnarenth]

Really simple question, but the Hero's Handbook of the Beginner's Box left me unsure. Is a new lvl 1 character's hit points set at a static value determined by class or does CON factor in at all? I ask because at level up the CON bonus is added in to the new hit point total.

You get the maximum for your associated hit dice from your class and add your con modifier, then any conditional modifiers from feats or favoured class this is your starting HP
