About Your Electronic User’s Guide 

 
The illustrations, colours and pictures shown are for descriptive purposes. They may vary 
slightly from country to country and the unit you purchase. Please refer to the finished product 

for final configurations. Specifications and model names are subject to change without notice. 
 

 

Note 

You may find that your notebook is not supplied with devices/accessories that can be 

used with your available slots/connections/ports. This is because the notebook you 
have purchased has been fitted with a wide range of slots/connections/ports, to 

allow you greater flexibility and options should you decide later on to use external or 
optional devices/accessories.

 

 

 

Text Setup 

 

To make this document as easy to use as possible, additional texts will appear throughout. The 
following details the layout and meaning of these additional texts. 

 

 

Note 

Notes give particularly important information about an item being described.

 

 

 

 

CAUTION 

Cautions indicate situations that can damage the notebook hardware or software. 

 

 

 

WARNING 

Warnings alert you to situations that could result in serious personal injury or even 

loss of life.

 

 

 

*For specific models only 

Items marked with an asterisk (*) denotes optional items only supplied for specific 

models. If the items are not found in the packaging box, it means that they are not 
applicable to the notebook you have just purchased, hence they are not included for 

you in the notebook.

 

 
 

Electronic User’s Guide 

 
This Electronic User’s Guide aims to help you familiarise yourself with your new notebook. It 

contains more information on your notebook, the devices and applications associated with it, 
setting up a healthy work environment, safety notices and Windows

®

 
Visit our website at 

www.nec-computers-ap.com 

regularly to download the most up-to-date 

Electronic User’s Guide and print it for your reference. 
 

 

Note 

We recommend that you print this documentation. It will then be easily accessible 
even when your notebook is shut down. To print the Electronic User’s Guide, click 

“File” on the top menubar, and then click “Print” from the dropdown menu. You must 
have a printer installed and connected to be able to print.

 

 
Print in small booklets using recycled paper. Make two-sided prints and copies using the 

“duplex” function, print multiple images/page per page, and print only the quantity you need 
at the time you need it. This gives you a handy way to store the booklet nearby and saves 

paper.
