Press the Power key at the upper-right corner of the keyboard to turn the computer on.

You should hear a tone when you turn on the computer. It takes the computer

To be certain that the computer saves any new settings you establish as you work with

it, press and hold the Power key for 2 seconds.

A message appears, asking whether you want to shut down the computer.

In the message on the screen, click Restart.

To click Restart, move your finger on the trackpad to move the arrow on

button once.

The computer turns off briefly, then starts up again.

Note: You only need to use this restart procedure the first time you turn on
