4. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the computer
(e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.
5. When first setting up the computer use the following
procedure (as to safeguard the computer during shipping, the
battery will be locked to not power the system until first connected
to the AC/DC adapter and initially set up as below):

the computer, then plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and
connect the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter and leave it
there for 6 seconds or longer.
• Remove the adapter cord from the computer's DC-In jack, and
then plug it back in again; the battery will now be unlocked.

computer by the lid/LCD).
7. Press the power button to turn the computer "on".
