Setting Up Your MacBook Air

Your MacBook Air is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right

away. The following pages take you through the setup process, including these tasks:

Plugging in the 45W MagSafe Power Adapter

Turning on your MacBook Air and using the trackpad

Using Setup Assistant to access a network and configure a user account and other

settings

Setting up the Mac OS X desktop and preferences

Step 1:

Plug in the 45W MagSafe Power Adapter to provide power to the

MacBook Air and charge the battery.

Insert the AC plug of your power adapter into a power outlet and the MagSafe

connector into the MagSafe power port, located on the back left side of your

MacBook Air. As the MagSafe connector gets close to the port, you’ll feel a magnetic

pull drawing it in.
