System Startup

1.

Remove all packing materials, and place the computer on a stable surface.

2.

Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the notebook (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.

3.

Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-In jack on the left of the computer, then plug the AC power cord into an
outlet, and connect the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter (make sure you use the adapter when first
setting up the computer
, as to safeguard the computer during shipping the battery will be locked to not power
the system until first connected to the AC/DC adapter).

4.

Use one hand to raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle (do not exceed 130 degrees); use the other
hand to support the base of the computer (Note: Never lift the computer by the lid/LCD).

Shutdown

Note that you should always
shut your computer down by
choosing the Shut Down com-
mand from the Power item in
Settings in the Charms Bar
(use the Windows Logo Key +
C
key combination to access the
Charms Bar) in Windows 8.
This will help prevent hard disk
or system problems.
