First things first

We would like to thank you for making this 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 

Setup Guide

 helps you get started with setting up your computer.

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 

Spin 3 User’s Manual. 

The 

Spin 3 User’s Manual

 contains useful information

applying to your new computer. It covers basic topics such as using the keyboard and

audio, etc.
This  guide  contains  detailed  information  on  such  subjects  as  system  utilities,  data

recovery,  expansion  options  and  troubleshooting.  In  addition  it  contains  warranty

Software installation

The first time you turn on your computer, it will automatically install software and set

up for use. This may take some time, please do not turn off your computer; wait until

the installation has finished.

You  should  create  recovery  backups  as  soon  as  you  can.  The
