User’s Manual 3-1
Chapter 3
Getting Started
This chapter provides basic information to start using your computer.
It covers the following topics:
■ Connecting the AC adapter
■ Opening the display
■ Turning on the power
■ Starting up for the first time
■ Turning off the power
■ Restarting the computer
■ System recovery options
If you are a new user, follow the steps in each section of this chapter as you
prepare to operate your computer.
■ Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.
■ Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting
destroys all stored data.
■ It is a good idea to periodically back up the internal hard disk drive or
other main storage device to external media. General storage media is
not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain
conditions may result in data loss.
Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for
information on the safe and proper use of this computer. It is intended to
help you be more comfortable and productive while using a notebook
computer. By following the recommendations in it you may reduce your
chance of developing a painful or disabling injury to your hand, arms,
shoulders or neck.
All users should be sure to carefully read the sections Windows 7 setup,
which describe actions to take when you turn on the power for the first
time.
