We would like to thank you for making an Acer notebook your choice for
meeting your mobile computing needs.
Your guides
To help you use your Acer notebook, we have designed a set of guides:
First off, the setup poster helps you get started with setting up your
computer.
The Aspire One Generic User Guide contains useful information applying
to all models in the Aspire product series. It covers basic topics such as
using the keyboard and audio, etc. Please understand that due to its
nature, the Generic User Guide will occasionally refer to functions or
features which are only contained in certain models of the series, but not
necessarily in the model you purchased. Such instances are marked in the
text with language such as "only for certain models".
The Quick Guide introduces you to the basic features and functions of
your new computer. For more on how your computer can help you to be
more productive, please refer to the Aspire One Generic User Guide.
This guide contains detailed information on such subjects as system
utilities, data recovery, expansion options and troubleshooting. In addition
it contains warranty information and the general regulations and safety
notices for your notebook. It is available in Portable Document Format
(PDF) and comes preloaded on your notebook. Follow these steps to
access it:
1 Click on Start > All Programs > AcerSystem.
2 Click on User Guide.
