Preparing to set up the computer

Now that you know some essential details about your PowerBook, you’re
ready to set it up and begin using it.

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.

Plugging in the computer

Plugging in the power adapter recharges the computer’s battery. You should
plug in the power adapter in case the battery has been drained during
shipping or storage.

WARNING

Use only the power adapter that came with your Macintosh

PowerBook computer (model number M4896, 45W AC Adapter).
Adapters for other electronic devices (including other Macintosh
PowerBook models and other portable computers) may look similar,
but they may damage your computer.
