WARNING
WARNING
Improper use of keyboards and other input devices has been associated with
ergonomic injury.
If you are using your notebook as your primary computer, or using it for
extended periods, you should use it with a full-sized keyboard, monitor, and
mouse. Docking accessories offer quick, easy connections to these devices. This
can reduce the risk of ergonomic injury.
For information about setting up a safe and comfortable work environment,
see the Safety & Comfort Guide on the Documentation Library CD.
When you set up your notebook for the first time, you will charge the battery,
connect the AC adapter, turn on the notebook, and run the Windows setup program.
Step 1: Insert the battery
Do not mutilate or puncture batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in fire, or
they can burst or explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. Rechargeable
batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Your notebook is shipped with the battery installed. If the battery has been removed,
you should install it:
1. Turn the notebook upside down.
2. Insert the connector end of the battery into the battery compartment, then slide
the battery in until it latches.
10Reference Guide
Step 2: Connect AC power
Getting Started with Your Notebook
Setting Up Your Notebook
CAUTION
Important
Use only the AC adapter included with your notebook (or other approved
adapter that meets the power requirements of the notebook).
Using the wrong AC adapter could damage the notebook or adapter, cause
data loss, and may void your warranty.
1. Plug the AC adapter into the notebook.
2. Connect the power cord to the AC adapter.
3. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet. The notebook battery starts charging.
When unplugging the power cord, unplug it from the wall outlet before unplugging
it from the AC adapter.
While the battery is charging, you can continue with the “Step 3: Connect a phone
line” section.
Reference Guide11
Getting Started with Your Notebook
Setting Up Your Notebook
Step 3: Connect a phone line
1. Make sure the telephone line is an analog line, sometimes called a data line.
(Do not use a digital line.)
2. Connect the telephone cord (RJ-11) into a telephone jack.
3. Plug the other end of the telephone cord into the RJ-11 modem jack on the
notebook.
For details about using the modem, see “Using the Modem.”

Hint
If your notebook does not turn on when operating on battery power, the battery may
be out of power. Plug in the AC adapter, then press the power button again. Leave
the AC adapter plugged in for several hours to fully charge the battery. Charge
times will vary.
Step 5: Set up Windows
Your notebook has the Microsoft Windows operating system preinstalled on its hard
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, locate the code on the bottom of the notebook.
2. Check the modem country or region settings. Select Start > Control Panel >
Printers and Other Hardware > Phone and Modem Options, then choose your
country/region.
