Using the computer for the first time

NOTE
Using the computer for the first time
The computer is now ready for you to turn it on and begin
using it, see
page 103.
NOTE
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.

Initial setup

turn on your computer for the first time. Follow the on-screen
instructions on each screen in order to properly install the
operating system and begin using your computer.
Battery life and charge time may vary depending on the
applications power management settings, and features
used.
