3. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the
computer (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.

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 to a comfortable viewing angle (do not
exceed 180 degrees); use the other hand (as illustrated in

computer by the lid).
6. Press the power button to turn the computer "on".
