zWhen using the computer for the first time, do not connect any peripheral device except the battery pack and AC adaptor.

zHandling the AC adaptor

•Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during periods of thunder and lightning. Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninterrupt- ible power source (UPS) is highly recommended unless running from the bat- tery pack alone.

4 Turn on the computer.

Slide and hold the power switch for approximately one second until the power indicator lights.

CAUTION

zDo not slide the power switch repeatedly.

zThe computer will forcibly be turned off if you slide and hold the power switch for four seconds or longer.

zOnce you turn off the computer, wait for ten seconds or more before you turn on

the computer again.

turns off.

•Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor

•Sliding the power switch or CD/DVD drive power/open switch

•Touching the keyboard or touch pad

•Closing the display

zDo not change the Setup Utility until completing step 5. If you do so, Windows setup may not operate properly.

5 Setup Windows.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

zThe computer restarts several times. Do not touch the keyboard or touch pad,

and wait until the indicator

has turned off.

zAfter the computer is turned on, the screen remains black or unchanged for a while, but this is not a malfunction. Wait for a moment until the Windows setup screen appears.

zDuring setup of Windows, use the touch pad and clicking to move the cursor and to click an item.

zSetup of Windows will take approximately 20 minutes.

Go to the next step, confirming each message on the display.

z“Join a wireless network” screen may not appear.

You can set the Wireless Network after the setup of Windows is complete.

CAUTION

zDo not turn off the computer until completing the first-time operation procedure.

zDo not use the following words for user name: CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1 to COM9, LPT1 to LPT9, @. In particular, if you create a user name (account name) that includes the “@” mark, a password will be requested at the log-on screen, even if no password has been set. If you try to log on without en-tering a password, “The user name or password is incorrect.” may be dis- played and you will not be able to log on to Windows (Î page 23).

zYou can change the user name, password, image and security setting after setup of Windows.
