Note:

When you first connect the power adapter to your MacBook Pro, an indicator

light on the MagSafe connector starts to glow. An amber light indicates the battery

is charging. A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged or is not installed.

If you don’t see a light, make sure the connector is seated properly and the power

adapter is plugged into a power outlet.

Step 2:

To access the Internet or a network, connect one end of an Ethernet cable

to your MacBook Pro and the other end to a cable modem, DSL modem, or

network.

To use a dial-up connection, you need the external Apple USB Modem, available for

purchase from the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store or from an Apple

Authorized Reseller. Plug the Apple USB Modem into a USB port on your MacBook Pro,

and then connect a phone cord (not included) from the modem into a phone wall jack.
