Turning on the power
To turn on the computer:
1Make sure any external devices (such as the AC adapter,
if you plan to use AC power rather than battery power)
are properly connected and ready.
2If an optional external diskette drive is connected to your
computer, check that the drive is empty.
3Press and hold in the power button until the on/off light
on the system indicator panel glows green—about one
second.
CAUTION: Never turn off the computer while any of the drives is in
use. Doing so may damage the media in use and result in loss of
data.
4The preinstalled operating system will load
automatically.
CAUTION: When you turn on the computer for the first time, don’t
turn off the power again until the operating system has loaded
completely.
Using the TouchPad™
The TouchPad, the small, smooth square cutout located in
front of the keyboard, is sensitive to touch and enables you to
move the cursor with the stroke of a finger. Simply move
your finger on the TouchPad in the direction you’d like to
move the cursor:
❖To move the cursor to the top of the page, push your
finger forward on the TouchPad.
