Preparing the notebook for use

!Please take note of the information in the "Important notes" chapter.

Before you can work with your notebook, you need to charge the battery and install and configure the delivered software. The operating system and drivers required are preinstalled.

Upon delivery, the battery can be found in the battery compartment and is not charged. You need to charge the battery if you want to operate your notebook with a rechargeable battery.

If you use the notebook in a normal office situation, run it from the mains using the power adapter.

Unpacking and checking the delivery

ÊUnpack all the individual parts.

ÊCheck the delivery for damage incurred during transportation.

ÊCheck whether the delivery agrees with the details in the inventory.

i

Should you discover that the delivery does not correspond to the inventory, notify your

local sales outlet immediately.

 

Do not discard the original packing material of the devices. Keep the original packing

 

material in case you need to ship the equipment again.

Selecting a location

Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following points when looking for a location:

Do not place it on a soft surface (e.g., a carpet or soft furnishings). The space between the notebook's feet must be clear.

Place the notebook on a stable, flat, nonslippery surface. In view of the multitude of different finishes used on furniture, it is possible that the rubber feet of the notebook will mark the surface they stand on.

Never place the power adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.

The notebook and the power adapter should be at least 200 mm apart.

Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its power adapter to ensure adequate ventilation.

Never cover the fan intake or exhaust openings of the notebook or the power adapter.

Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions. Protect the notebook from dust, humidity, and heat.

For wireless data transfer, you must align the notebook's infrared interface with that of the partner device (e.g. PC). The devices must not be more than one metre apart.
