Surface 3 & Pro 3 Setup
Now that you’re familiar with the buttons and ports on your new Surface, let’s quickly setup your
hardware to run the setup wizard. The setup wizard is designed to help guide you through most of
the setup process but there are five things you need to do to ensure it will run smoothly. Here
they are in order:
1: Install the Battery in the Pen (If Applicable)
You must install the battery in the pen before you turn on the Surface Pro 3 for the first time to
ensure the First-Time Setup Wizard (or just setup wizard) will detect it when it runs. To do so,
follow these instructions…
Unscrew the top of the pen from the bottom.
Insert the battery, with the positive (+) end toward the writing tip.
Screw the top back on.
If you are setting up a Surface 3, this is not as critical as the setup wizard on it does not assume
you have a Surface Pen (which is sold separately). As a result, you will need to manually pair the
Surface pen to your Surface 3 after it is configured.
2: Attach the Keyboard Cover
Attach the keyboard cover (if you have one) to ensure the required drivers are
installed during the first-time setup.
It is also handy to have attached to enter things like passwords, which will be
required during the setup wizard.
3: Connect the Power Supply
Ensure the power supply is plugged into AC power and properly attached to the
Surface.
If connected correctly in either model, there is a white LED light that will
illuminate to let you know the Surface is charging.
