Hint

Step 4: Turn on the computer

• Press the blue sleep button above the keyboard. The computer then boots up, and
Windows starts automatically.
If your computer does not turn on when operating on battery power, the battery may be
out of power. Plug in the AC adapter and press the blue sleep button again. Leave the
AC adapter plugged in for at least an hour.

Step 5: Set up Windows

Your computer has Microsoft Windows preinstalled on its hard disk drive. The first time
you turn on your computer, the Windows Setup program runs automatically so you can
customize your setup.
1. Follow the Setup program's instructions as they appear on the screen. If the program
prompts you to enter the Product ID code, you will find this code on the bottom of the
computer.
2. If your computer has a modem, check the modem's country or region settings:
• Windows 98: click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-click Modems, then
click Dialing Properties.
• Windows 2000: click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-click Phone and
Modem Options, then click Edit on the Dialing Rules tab.
• Windows XP: click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Phone and
Modem Options, then click Edit on the Dialing Rules tab.
