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 at the rear of the computer, then plug the AC power cord into an
outlet, and connect the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter.
4. Use one hand to raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle (it is preferable not to exceed 135 degrees); use
the other hand (as illustrated in Figure 1 - 1 below) to support the base of the computer (Note: Never lift the
computer by the lid/LCD).
5. Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle, and press the power button on the top left of the computer for
about 2 - 3 seconds to turn the computer “on” (note that the power LED on the front of the computer will turn
from orange to green when the computer powers on).

Shutdown
Note that you should always shut your com-
puter down by choosing the Shut Down
command 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.
