Registering your Smart Card

Important! Your Acer notebook is equipped with a Smart Card security feature that protects the computer from unauthorized access.

This information will be used by Acer service centers to confirm ownership in case your Smart Card "key" is lost or damaged. Registering your notebook with Acer's service center is extremely important when replacing your lost Smart Card "key".

If you have already bypassed the Smart Card registration, please reinstall the application as follows:

1Insert your System CD and reinstall from it.

2Follow the onscreen instructions.

To enable the Smart Card security feature, please refer to your Smart Card user manual.
