Getting Started with Your Notebook
Setting Up Your Notebook
Improper use of keyboards and other input devices has been associated with
ergonomic injury.
If you are using your notebook as your primary computer, or using it for
extended periods, you should use it with a full-sized keyboard, monitor, and
mouse. Docking accessories offer quick, easy connections to these devices. This
can reduce the risk of ergonomic injury.
For information about setting up a safe and comfortable work environment,
see the Safety & Comfort Guide on this CD.
When you set up your notebook for the first time, you'll charge the battery, connect
the AC adapter, turn on the notebook, and run the Windows setup program.

Step 1: Insert the battery

Do not mutilate or puncture batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in fire, or
they can burst or explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. Rechargeable
batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Your notebook is shipped with the battery installed. If the battery has been removed,
you should install it:
1. Turn the notebook upside down.
2. Insert the connector end of the battery into the battery compartment and slide it in
until it latches.
