2. Place the computer on a stable surface.
3. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the computer (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.
4. When first setting up the computer use the following procedure (as to safeguard the computer during shipping, the battery will be
locked to not power the system until first connected to the AC/DC adapter and initially set up as below):
• Attach the AC/DC adapter cord to the DC-In jack on the right of the computer, then plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and connect
the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter. The battery will now be unlocked.
5. Use one hand to raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle (do not exceed 180 degrees); use the other hand (as illustrated in

6. Press the power button to turn the computer "on".
