5. First
Use
To operate your Notebook safety and ensure a long service life, you should read the
“Operational safety” chapter at the beginning of this manual. All operating software
is already fully preinstalled on the Notebook so there is no need for you to install
any more drivers and you can get started right away.
Connect the supplied mains adapter to the Notebook (
13
). Next, connect the
power cable to the adapter and then plug it into a mains socket. Move the
switch on the mains adapter (optional) to position
I
to power the Notebook and
charge the battery. Set this switch to
0
to stop the power supply.
Open up the display to the desired position using your thumb and forefinger.
The display should not be folded back by more than 120°. Always hold the dis-
play firmly by the middle when folding it back, adjusting the position and clos-
ing it. Failure to do so may damage the display. Never use force to open the dis-
play.
PLEASE NOTE!
When first operating your Notebook please ensure that the battery is
inserted and the mains adapter is connected. This is required for Win-
dows® 8 to correctly work out the Windows® 8 performance index.
Switch the Notebook on by pressing the on/off switch (
7
). The Notebook will
now start and run through various steps.
The operating system will be loaded from the hard drive. The loading process takes
a little longer during the initial setup. Once all the necessary data has been entered,
the operating system will be set up. The operating system is fully loaded once the
Windows
®
8 start-up screen appears.
PLEASE NOTE!
The initial installation may take a few minutes. Do not unplug the Note-
book from the mains or switch it off during the initial installation. This
may adversely affect the installation. Do not switch off the Notebook un-
til after the installation has been completed successfully and the
startup
screen appears.
