Setting Up Your MacBook Air

Your MacBook Air is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right
away. The following pages take you through the setup process, including these tasks:

Â

Plugging in the 45W MagSafe Power Adapter

Â

Turning on your MacBook Air

Â

Using Setup Assistant to access a network and configure a user account and
other settings

Â

Setting up the Mac OS X desktop and preferences

Step 1:

Plug in the 45W MagSafe Power Adapter to provide power to the

MacBook Air and charge the battery.

Make sure the AC plug is fully inserted into the power adapter and the electrical
prongs on your AC plug are in their completely extended position. Insert the AC
plug of your power adapter into a power outlet and the MagSafe connector into the
MagSafe power port. As the MagSafe connector gets close to the port, you’ll feel a
magnetic pull drawing it in.
