Getting Started
This chapter provides basic information to get you started using your 
computer. It covers the following topics:
Connecting the AC adapter
Opening the display
Turning on the power
Starting up for the first time
Turning off the power
Restarting the computer
Restoring the preinstalled software from the Product Recovery disc 
(provided with some models).
Connecting the AC adapter
Attach the AC adapter when you need to charge the battery or you want to 
operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because 
the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from 
battery power. The AC adapter can be connected to any power source 
supplying from 100 to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the 
AC adapter to charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6: 
.
Before you attempt to use your computer, make sure to read the 
Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort included in the package.
The 
Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort provides you with 
instructions to safely and fully use your computer.
All users should be sure to carefully read the section 
, which describes the actions to take when you first turn on the power 
to the computer.
