Kogan Agora Netbook Initial Startup GUIDE:

Power ON the Netbook.

The Kogan Logo Screen with loading bar will be displayed.

After gOS finishes loading, a SYSTEM CONFIGURATION window will be displayed.

Step 1:

Select the Language for the Netbook in the left panel and click forward.

Step 2:

In the next window you have to choose your city and time zone. You can select your city in the

world map by clicking the dots or from the pull-down menu, and then click forward.

Please note: the cities are grouped by continent, and you will have to scroll down to find

Australia.

Step 3:

The keyboard layout is selected in the next window. The default (strongly recommend) option

will be USA, or you can select your own keyboard layout. You may test the new keyboard layout

in the textbox provided, and then click forward.

Step 4:

You will now need to choose a username and password.

Enter the Netbook owner name in the first text box.

Enter the username (this will be the administrator user name) for the Netbook in the second

text box. (If more user accounts need to be added, this can be done after installation).

The third and fourth text box is to enter the password and verify the password for the

username.

Once this is done click forward.

After a few minutes the Netbook will load the LOGIN screen. Type in your username and then

press enter. Then type your password and press enter.

gOS will now load and the desktop will appear. Your Netbook is ready to use!

Connecting to WIFI Network:

Once the desktop is loaded, check to see if your Wi-Fi light is on.

The Wi-Fi light is located on the bottom right of the Netbook. It is the first light on the right.

If the light is blue then left-click on the network icon in the toolbar and select your network

and provide the authentication credentials to log on.

If the light is not on, press the Wi-Fi button. This is located near the power button in the top

right corner of the keyboard. Wait for about one minute while the Netbook scans the available

networks in the area. Then left-click on the network icon in the task panel. Select your network

and provide the Authentication credentials to log on.

Saving Files in Open Office (Writer, Spreadsheets, and Presentations):

path. This is a one-time activity.
