Getting Started
Setting up your computer
❖
Keep the computer and disks away from objects that generate
strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo speakers.
Information on disks is stored magnetically. Placing a magnet
too close to a disk can erase important files.
❖
Scan all new files for viruses.
This precaution is especially important for files you receive
via diskette, email, or download from the Internet.
Occasionally, even new programs you buy from a supplier
may contain a computer virus. You’ll need a special program
to check for viruses. Ask your dealer to help you.
Setting up your computer
Your computer comes with a rechargeable battery pack that must
be charged before you can use it.

AC adapter. See
