Setting Up Your MacBook Air
Your MacBook Air is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right away. The following pages take you through the setup process, including these tasks:
ÂPlugging in the 45W MagSafe Power Adapter
ÂTurning on your MacBook Air and using the trackpad
ÂUsing Setup Assistant to access a network and configure a user account and other settings
ÂSetting up the Mac OS X desktop and preferences
Step 1: Plug in the 45W MagSafe Power Adapter to provide power to the MacBook Air and charge the battery.
Insert the AC plug of your power adapter into a power outlet and the MagSafe connector into the MagSafe power port, located on the back left side of your MacBook Air. As the MagSafe connector gets close to the port, you’ll feel a magnetic pull drawing it in.
