Instructions for Care and Operation
The notebook computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions:
1. Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be damaged.
2. Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away from any kind of heating element. This is an
electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly damaged.
3. Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transformers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic
fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.
4. Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the computer down properly and don’t forget to save your
work. Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost if the battery is depleted.
5. T ake care when using peripheral devices.

Quick Start Guide
This guide assumes that you are already familiar with computers and can tell at a glance what and where all the key
components are. If you are not that comfortable with this type of device, then please refer to the following pages,
which give an overview of the system.
English
1. Remove all packing materials.
2. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the computer (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.
3. Attach the AC power cord to the AC Power-In port on the right of the computer.
4. Push the power button to turn the computer “on”.
Then plug the AC power cord into an outlet.
Not Included
Operating Systems (e.g. Windows XP) have their own manuals as do applications (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet
and database programs). If you have questions about the operating systems or programs then please consult the appropriate manuals.
System Software
Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where this is not the case, or where you are reconfiguring your computer for a different system, you will find this manual refers to the Microsoft Windows XP (Pro-fessional & Home Edition) operating system. Further information on installing the drivers and utilities is available in
Chapter 3 of the expanded User’s Manual on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual CD-ROM.
