Caution! Do not insert the AC power cord into the headphone jack on the right side of
the FlipStart.
Wrong way to insert AC adapter power jack!
4 Connect the AC adapter power cord to an AC outlet.
5 Open the display to a comfortable viewing angle by raising the top lid of the FlipStart.
6 Press the power button once and release it to turn on the power.
You will see a startup screen before Microsoft Windows loads.
Note: Do not continue to press down the power button, or the FlipStart will turn off.
During initial startup, Windows will step you through Windows Product Activation. Use the
Product Activation Key located on the bottom of your FlipStart. (As noted above, you should
have written down this key before attaching the battery. If the key is not available, power down
the FlipStart, unplug the power adapter cord, remove the battery, write down the key from the
Certificate of Authenticity sticker on the bottom, reattach the battery, reattach the power
adapter cord, and restart the computer.)
You also may be asked some questions about how you want to set up your network, and how
you would like to configure Windows. If you know the answers, you can enter this information
now. If not, this information can be entered at a later time. For more information on setting up
your network, see Getting connected to the Internet (on page 26).
Once you have finished the initial startup process, the Windows desktop will appear.
If you have questions or would like more information about the Windows setup process or
about Microsoft Windows product activation, please refer to the Windows manual included in
your FlipStart box.
Charging the battery before using unplugged
The battery that ships in the FlipStart box is not fully charged. Before using the FlipStart on
battery power alone (that is, unplugged from AC power), allow the battery to charge fully; a
full charge is indicated when the amber "charging" LED battery light on the front right of the
FlipStart turns green.
See Using power management (on page 42) for information on how to maximize the FlipStart's
battery life.
