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 Just for Starters... poster helps you get started with setting up your

computer.

The Aspire Series Generic User Guide contains useful information applying to all

models in the Aspire product series. It covers basic topics such as Acer's

Empowering Technology, using the keyboard, audio, etc. Please understand

that due to its nature, the Generic User Guide as well as the AcerSystem User

Guide mentioned below 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 AcerSystem User Guide. 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 Click on Start, All Programs, AcerSystem.

2 Click on AcerSystem User Guide.

Note: Viewing the file requires Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader is not

installed on your computer, clicking on AcerSystem User Guide will run the

Adobe Reader setup program first. Follow the instructions on the screen to

complete the installation. For instructions on how to use Adobe Reader,

access the Help and Support menu.
