Note:

When you first connect the power adapter to your MacBook Pro, an indicator

light on the MagSafe connector starts to glow. An amber light indicates that the
battery is being charged. A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged or is
not installed. If you don’t see a light, make sure that the connector is seated properly.

Step 2:

To access the Internet or a network, connect one end of an Ethernet cable

to the MacBook Pro and the other end to a cable modem, DSL modem, or
network.

To use a dial-up connection, you need the external Apple USB Modem, available for
purchase from the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store or from an Apple
Authorized Reseller. Plug the Apple USB Modem into a USB port on the MacBook Pro,
and then connect a phone cord (not included) from the modem into a phone wall jack.
