Getting Started with Your Notebook
Setting Up Your Notebook
Step 4: Turn on the notebook
Press the power button above the left side of the keyboard. The notebook then
boots up, and Windows starts automatically.
NOTE: If your notebook does not turn on when operating on battery power, the
battery may be out of power. Plug in the AC adapter and press the power button
again. Leave the AC adapter plugged in for at least an hour—or up to 3 hours to
charge the battery fully.
Step 5: Set up Windows
Your notebook has the Microsoft Windows operating system preinstalled on its hard
disk drive. The first time you turn on your notebook, the Windows Setup program
runs automatically so you can customize your setup.
1. Follow the Setup program instructions on the screen. If the program prompts
you to enter the Product ID code, you will find this code on the bottom of the
notebook.
2. Check the modem’s country or region settings: select Start > Control Panel >
Printers and Other Hardware > Phone and Modem Options, then choose your
country or region.
