Getting Started

To extend the reach of your power adapter, you can attach the AC power cord. First,

pull up on the AC plug to remove it from the adapter, and then attach the included AC

power cord to the adapter. Plug the other end into a power outlet. For an illustration,

see page 30.

Step 2:

Connect Your Cables

Next, for an Internet connection, connect your MacBook Pro to a DSL modem, cable

modem, external modem, or Ethernet network. If you’re connecting to a wireless

AirPort Extreme network, you don’t need cables.

For information about types of connections, see Appendix C, “Connecting to the

Internet,” on page 115.

Warning:

Make sure the AC plug is fully inserted into the power adapter and the

electrical prongs on your AC plug are in their completely extended position before

you plug the adapter into the power outlet.
