When you turn on your LifeBook notebook for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will load the operating system, and then the Windows Welcome will begin.
Designed to accommodate the needs of many users, in many different countries, Windows needs to be config- ured the first time you use them. Windows has three parts:
■Getting Started: You have the opportunity to enter custom information for your configuration file and setup your modem so that your LifeBook notebook will be prepared to dial out.
■Windows License Agreement and Final Settings: You have the opportunity to review the Windows License Agreement.
■If you reject the terms of the license agreement you will be asked to review the license agreement for information on returning Windows or to shut down your LifeBook notebook.
■You cannot use your LifeBook notebook until you have accepted the License Agreement. If you stop the process your notebook will return to the beginning of the Windows Welcome Process.
Getting Started
Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill in the information as directed. You will be asked for such items as the language you wish to use, the country in which you live, your first and last name, and about how you dial out from where you will be using your Life- Book notebook. For the modem settings, enter your current location information where you will be using your LifeBook notebook. If you are not connected to a phone line and plan to register at a later time, you may
click the Skip button, and you will go directly to the condition of use page.
Once you have set up your LifeBook notebook to dial out, Windows will make a free telephone call to test the settings. If the call is unsuccessful, you will be returned to the phone settings page where you may try to fix them. If you are unable to fix the settings, contact Fujitsu Service and Support. See “Fujitsu Contact Information” on page 3. If you would simply like to move on, and register at a later time, you may click the Skip button, and you will go directly to the Condition of Use page.

When you click the Click Me! icon, your system will automatically build the icon tray in the bottom right of the screen. These icons provide links to utilities that you will frequently access.
