The illustration on the next page provides an overview of your Macintosh
PowerBook computer. To set up your computer for the first time, you need
the power adapter and the power cord that came with it.
When setting up your computer, place your computer on a sturdy, flat surface
near a grounded electrical outlet. Before following the setup instructions in
this chapter, you may want to read “Arranging Your Work Area and
Equipment” in Appendix A for tips on adjusting your work furniture and
computer so that you’re comfortable when using the computer.
When you’ve determined where to put the computer and reviewed the
information about arranging your work area and the illustration of the
PowerBook, turn to “Opening the Display” to begin the setup procedure.
