BOOTING THE SYSTEM
We strongly recommend that you not attach any external devices and do not put a DVD/CD in your drive until you have gone through the initial power on sequence.
When you turn on your LifeBook notebook for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will load the operating system, and then the Windows Welcome will begin.
Designed to accommodate the needs of many users, in many different countries, Windows needs to be config- ured the first time you use them. Windows has two parts:
■Getting Started: You have the opportunity to review the Windows License Agreement, to enter custom information for your system, and to set up your modem so that your LifeBook notebook will be prepared to dial out.
■Registration: Easy online registration for Windows with Microsoft.
P O I N T
You may click Cancel at any time within this process to shut down Windows. 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 to read the Windows End User License Agreement. When you finish reading you must accept or reject the terms of the
agreement.
P O I N T
If you reject the terms of the License Agreement you will be returned to the beginning of the Windows Welcome Process, even if you shut your notebook down and start it up again.
You will then 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 LifeBook notebook. For the modem settings, enter your current location information where you will be using your LifeBook notebook. If you are not connected to a phone line and plan to register at a later time, you may click the Skip button.
Once you have set up your LifeBook notebook to dial out, Windows will make a free telephone call to test the 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 Service and Support. (See Fujitsu Contact Infor- mation 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.
Windows Registration
If your connection is successful, you will receive an acknowledgement from Microsoft that your registration was successful.
