When travelling in other countries

► If you are travelling abroad, check that the mains adapter can be operated with the

local mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the a ppropriate mains adapter for

your notebook. Do not use any other voltage converter!

► Check whether the local power supply and the spe ci ﬁcations of the power cable are

compatible. If this is not the c ase, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions. Do

not use a connection adapter for electr ical devices to connect the notebook.

► Enquire with the corresponding government ofﬁce of the country you will be

travelling in as to whether you may operate the radio component integrated in

your notebook there (see also "

CE marking", Page 80).

► If you are planning to use a modem, please be aware that it may not necessarily be compatible

First- timese tupNotebookGettingstartedNotebook

Refer to the "Importan t notes", Page 3 chapter.

If yo ur notebook comes with a Windows operating system t hen all of the necessary

hardware drivers and the supplied software will already be pre-installed.

Depending on the hardware and software conﬁguration, the ﬁrst-time setup for the

Microsoft Windows operating system ca n take up to 20 minutes.

When you switch on the notebook for the ﬁrst time it will perform a system

check. A nu m ber of different messages may be displayed. In the process,

the display may ﬂicker or darken temporarily.

Please follow the instructions on the screen.

It is very important that you do not switch the notebook off during this i nitial set-up process.

Before you can use your notebook for the ﬁrst time you will need to charge the battery.

On delivery, the battery can be found in the battery compartment or in the accessories kit. The

battery must be charged if you want to operate y our notebook with the battery.

When not plugged into a mains socket, 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 at home or in an ofﬁce, we recommend you use

the mains adapter instead of the battery.

Please refer to the "AMILO Notebook" operating manual for instructions on how to c onnect

external devices (e.g. a mouse or a printer) to the notebook..

Unpacking and checking your no

tebook

Should you discover any damage incurred during transportation, notify

your local sales outlet immediately!

► Unpack all th e individual parts.

PackagingTransport

► Check your notebook for damage incurred during transportation.

We recommend that you keep the original packaging material.

You m ay need the packaging in the future if you need to transport your device.

Preparing y ou r notebook for use

Selecting the location

Location,selecting theNotebookPoweradapter

Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider

the following points when selecting a location:

• Never place the notebook and the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive

surface. This could damage the surface.

• Never place the notebook on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,

bed). This can block the air v ents and cause damage due to overheating.

• Do not place the notebook directly on your legs for extended periods. The

underside of the notebook heats up during normal operation. Extended contact

with the skin can be come unpleasant o r even result in burns.

• Place the notebook on a s table, ﬂat, non-slip surface . Please note that

the rubber feet may mark certain types of surfaces.

• Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its ma ins

adapter to ensure adequate ventilation.

• Never cover the ventilation slots on the notebook.

• Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions. Protect

the notebook against dust, humidity and heat.
