System Startup
1.
Remove all packing materials, and place the computer on a stable surface, and securely attach any peripherals
you want to use with the notebook (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.
2.
When first setting up the computer use the following procedure (as to safeguard the computer during
shipping, the battery will be locked to not power the system until first connected to the AC/DC adapter and
initially set up as below):
• Attach the AC/DC adapter cord to the DC-In jack on the right of the computer, then plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and connect
the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter and leave it there for 6 seconds or longer.
• Remove the adapter cord from the computer’s DC-In jack, and then plug it back in again; the battery will now be unlocked.
3.
Use one hand to raise the
lid/LCD
to a
comfortable viewing
angle (it is
preferable
not to
exceed
135
degrees);
use
the other hand to support the base of the computer (Note: Never lift the computer by the lid/LCD).
4.
Press the power button on the top of the computer for about 2 - 3 seconds to turn the computer “on” (note that
the power LED on the front of the computer will turn from orange to green when the computer powers on).
