System Startup
1. Remove all packing materials and place the computer on a stable surface.
2. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the notebook (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.
3. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-In jack at the rear of the computer, then plug the AC power cord into an
outlet, and connect the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter.
4. Use one hand to raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle (do not exceed 135 degrees); use the other
hand (as illustrated in
Figure 1 - 1 below) to support the base of the computer (Note: Never lift the computer by
the lid/LCD).
5. Press the power button on the top right of the computer for about 2 - 3 seconds to turn the computer “on” (note
that the power LED on the front of the computer will turn from orange to green when the computer powers
on).

computer down by choosing the Shut
Down command from the Power item in
Settings in the Charms Bar (use the

tion to access the Charms Bar) in Win-
dows 8. This will help prevent hard disk
or system problems.
