Setting Up Your Notebook

Step 4: Turn on the notebook

??Press the power button located above the keyboard. The notebook then boots up, and Windows starts automatically.

If your notebook does not turn on when using only its battery, the battery may be discharged. Connect the AC adapter and press the power button again. Leave the AC adapter connected for at least an hour.

Step 5: Set up Windows

Your notebook has Microsoft Windows XP preinstalled on its hard disk drive. The first time you turn on your notebook, a Windows setup program runs automatically.

1.Follow the setup program’s instructions as they appear on the screen.

2.Check the modem’s country or region settings: click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Phone and Modem Options. On the Dialing Rules tab, verify the settings for your location, or create a new location.

If you need the Windows XP Product ID code, you’ll find it on the bottom of the notebook.
