Getting Started with Your Notebook

Setting Up Your Notebook

Step 4: Turn on the notebook

Press the power button above the left side of the keyboard. The notebook boots up and Windows starts automatically.

Hint

If your notebook does not turn on when operating on battery power, the battery may

 

be out of power. Plug in the AC adapter, then press the power button again. Leave

 

the AC adapter plugged in for several hours to fully charge the battery. Charge

 

times will vary.

 

 

Step 5: Set up Windows

Your notebook has the Microsoft Windows operating system preinstalled on its hard drive. The first time you turn on your notebook, the Windows Setup program runs automatically so you can customize your setup.

1. Follow the Setup program instructions on the screen. If the program prompts you to enter the Product ID code, locate the code on the bottom of the notebook.

2. Check the modem country or region settings. Select Start > Control Panel > Printers and Other Hardware > Phone and Modem Options, then choose your country or region.
