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

Your guides

To help you use your Predator 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 

Predator Helios 500 User’s Manual. 

The 

Predator

Helios 500 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 information and the general regulations and safety
notices for your notebook. 
The User’s Manual can be downloaded from the Acer support website by

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.
