First things first
We would like to thank you for making an Acer notebook your choice for
meeting your mobile computing needs.
Your guides
To help you use your Acer notebook, we have designed a set of guides:
First off, the setup poster helps you get started with setting up your
computer.
The TravelMate Series User's Manual contains useful information
applying to all models in the TravelMate Series. It covers basic topics such
as using the keyboard and audio, etc. Please understand that due to its
nature, the User's Manual will occasionally refer to functions or features
which are only contained in certain models of the series, but not
necessarily in the model you purchased. Such instances are marked in the
text with language such as "only for certain models."
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 TravelMate Series User's Manual.
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. It is available in Portable Document Format
(PDF) and comes preloaded on your notebook.
Follow these steps to access it:
1. Type 'User' from Start.
2. Click on Acer User's Manual.
