Getting Started
Using the computer for the first time
Small bright dots may appear on your screen display when you turn
on your computer. Your display contains an extremely large number
of thin-film transistors (TFT) and is manufactured using high-
precision technology. Any small bright dots that may appear on
your display are an intrinsic characteristic of the TFT
manufacturing technology. Over a period of time, and depending on
the usage of the computer, the brightness of the screen will
deteriorate. This is also an intrinsic characteristic of the screen
technology. When the computer is operated on battery power, the
screen will dim and you may not be able to increase the brightness
of the screen while on battery power.
Turning on the power
To turn on the computer:
1 Make sure any external devices (such as the AC adaptor, if you
plan to use AC power rather than battery power) are properly
connected and ready.
2 Check to ensure that all drives and slots are empty.
3 Press and release the power button. The ON/OFF light glows
white.
(Sample Illustration) Turning on the power
The preinstalled operating system will load automatically.
When you turn on the computer for the first time, do not turn off the
power again until the operating system has loaded completely.
