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 left 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 icon (make sure to presss the icon directly and not either side of the icon) 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).

shut your computer down by
choosing the Shut Down com-
mand in Windows (see page

hard disk or system problems.
