System Startup
1. Remove all packing materials.
2. Place the computer on a stable surface.
3. (Model B Only) Insert the battery and make sure it is locked in
position.
4. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the computer
(e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.
5. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-In jack on the left of the
computer, then plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and connect
the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter (make sure you use the
adapter when first setting up the computer, 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).
6. Use one hand to raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle (do
not exceed 127 degrees); use the other hand (as illustrated in
Figure
1) to support the base of the computer (Note: Never lift the
computer by the lid/LCD).
7. Press the power button to turn the computer "on".

installed. Where this is not the case, or where you are re-con-
figuring your computer for a different system, you will find
