First-time setup
If your notebook comes with a Windows operating system then all of the necessary
hardware drivers and the supplied software will already be pre-installed.
Depending on the hardware and software configuration, the first-time setup for the
Microsoft Windows operating system can take up to 20 minutes.
When you switch on the notebook for the first time it will perform a system
check. A number of different messages may be displayed. In the process,
the display may flicker or darken temporarily.
Please follow the instructions on the screen.
It is very important that you do not switch the notebook off during this initial set-up process.
Before you can use your notebook for the first time you will need to charge the battery.
On delivery, the battery can be found in the battery compartment or in the accessories kit. The
battery must be charged if you want to operate your notebook with the battery.
When not plugged into a mains socket, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can
increase the battery's life by enabling the system's energy saving functions.
If you use the notebook at home or in an office, we recommend you use the
mains adapter instead of the battery.
Please refer to the "AMILO Notebook" operating manual for instructions on how to connect
external devices (e.g. a mouse or a printer) to the notebook..

Packaging
► Check your notebook for damage incurred during transportation.
