Preparing the notebook for use
!
Please read the "Important notes" chapter.
Before you can work with your notebook, you need to charge the battery and install and configure
the delivered software. The operating system and drivers required are preinstalled.
You need to charge the battery if you want to operate your notebook with a rechargeable battery.
When not plugged into a mains outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the
battery's life by enabling the system's energy saving functions.
If you use the notebook in a normal office situation, run it from the mains using the power adapter.
Please see the "Connecting external devices" chapter for instructions on how to connect devices
such as a mouse and a printer to the notebook.

material in case you need to ship the equipment again.
Selecting a location
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following points when
looking for a location:
• Do not place it on a soft surface (e.g., a carpet or soft furnishings). The space between the
notebook's feet must be clear.
Place the notebook on a stable, flat, nonslippery surface. In view of the multitude of different
finishes used on furniture, it is possible that the rubber feet of the notebook will mark the
surface they stand on.
• Never place the notebook and the power adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
• The notebook and the power adapter should be at least 200 mm apart.
• Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its power adapter to ensure adequate
ventilation.
• Never cover the fan intake or exhaust openings of the notebook or the power adapter.
• Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions.
Protect the notebook from dust, humidity, and heat.
