First things first

We would like to thank you for making an Acer notebook your choice for 
meeting your mobile computing needs.

Your guides

To help you use your Acer notebook, we have designed a set of guides:
First off, the Just for Starters... poster helps you get started with setting up your 
computer.
The Aspire Series Generic User Guide contains useful information applying to all 
models in the Aspire product series. It covers basic topics such as using the 
keyboard and audio, etc. Please understand that due to its nature, the Generic 
User Guide as well as the AcerSystem User Guide mentioned below will 
occasionally refer to functions or features which are only contained in certain 
models of the series, but not necessarily in the model you purchased. Such 
instances are marked in the text with language such as "only for certain 
models".
The Quick Guide introduces you to the basic features and functions of your new 
computer. For more on how your computer can help you to be more productive, 
please refer to the AcerSystem User Guide. This guide contains detailed 
information on such subjects as system utilities, data recovery, expansion 
options and troubleshooting. In addition it contains warranty information and 
the general regulations and safety notices for your notebook. It is available in 
Portable Document Format (PDF) and comes preloaded on your notebook. 
Follow these steps to access it:

1 Click on 

 Start, All Programs, AcerSystem.

2 Click on AcerSystem User Guide.

Note: Viewing the file requires Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader is not 

installed on your computer, clicking on AcerSystem User Guide will run the 

Adobe Reader setup program first. Follow the instructions on the screen to 

complete the installation. For instructions on how to use Adobe Reader, 

access the Help and Support menu.
