BOOTING THE SYSTEM WITH WINDOWS 98
We strongly recommend that you not attach any external devices and do not put a DVD/CD or floppy disk in any drive until you have gone through the initial power on sequence.
When you turn on your notebook for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will read the hard drive for the operating system software, flash the notebook configura- tion information on the screen, and then the Windows 98 Welcome will begin.
Designed to accommodate the needs of many users, in many different countries, Windows 98 needs to be configured the first time you use it. Windows 98 has three parts:
■Getting Started: You have the opportunity to enter custom information for your configuration file and setup your modem so that your notebook will be prepared to dial out.
■Registration: Easy online registration for Windows 98 with Microsoft, and for your LifeBook Series notebook with Fujitsu PC Corporation.
■Windows License Agreement and Final Settings: You have the opportunity to review the Windows 98 License Agreement and then your configuration file will be generated.
P O I N T
You may click Cancel at any time within this process to shutdown Windows 98. You may restart this process at any time in the future, but you must complete it in order to use your computer.
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 notebook. For the modem settings, enter your current location information where you will be using your 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 setup your notebook to dial out, Windows 98 will make a free telephone call which will test these 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 please contact Fujitsu PC Service and Support. (See Fujitsu PC Contact Information on page 3 for more information) 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.
Registration
If your connection is successful, you will go to the Registration Confirmation page. On this page simply enter the requested information, and then check the box at the bottom to register your copy of Windows 98 with Microsoft. Once you have finished, click the Next button to continue.
