Apple PowerBook G4 (12-inch, 1.5 GHz) - Manual (Page 10)

10 Chapter 1 Getting Started
Setting Up
Your PowerBook is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right
away.
Step 1: Plug In the Power Adapter
m Plug the AC plug of your power adapter into an outlet and the power adapter plug into
the PowerBook power adapter port.
Important: Be sure to snap the electrical prongs on your AC plug into their completely
extended position before you plug the adapter into the outlet.
To extend the reach of your power adapter, you can attach the AC cord if desired.
See “Using Your Power Adapter” on page 23.
Step 2: Prepare to Get Connected
The first time you start up your computer, a Setup Assistant welcomes you and takes
you through the registration process. It will also help you set up your computer and
Internet connection. Internet access usually requires an account with an Internet
service provider (ISP). Fees may apply.
Setting up your Internet connection usually requires you to supply information such as
the account name your ISP gives you. If you’re not ready to set up your connection yet,
you can skip that process and come back to it later. See Appendix C, “Connecting to the
Internet,” on page 77 for information about how to set it up later. If you are ready,
gather the information below for the type of connection you’ll be using.
