Setting Up Your Inspiron Laptop

This section provides information about

setting up your Inspiron 1525/1526 laptop and

connecting peripherals.

Before Setting Up Your Computer

When positioning your computer, ensure that

you allow easy access to a power source,

adequate ventilation, and a level surface to

place your computer.

Restricting airflow around your Inspiron

computer may cause it to overheat. To prevent

overheating ensure that you leave at least

10.2 cm (4 in) at the back of the computer and a

minimum of 5.1 cm (2 in) on all other sides. You

should never put your computer in an enclosed

space, such as a cabinet or drawer when it is

powered on.

NOTICE: Placing or stacking heavy or sharp

objects on the computer may result in

permanent damage to the computer.

Setting Up Your Inspiron Laptop

Connect the AC Adapter

Connect the AC adapter to the computer and

then plug it into a wall outlet or surge protector.

CAUTION: The AC adapter works with

electrical outlets worldwide. However,

power connectors and power strips vary

among countries. Using an incompatible

cable or improperly connecting the cable to

a power strip or electrical outlet may cause

fire or equipment damage.

Check the Wireless Switch

If you plan to use wireless connections, make

sure the wireless switch is in the “On” position.

Using The Wireless Switch

To turn on the wireless switch, slide it from the

rear to the front of the computer until it clicks

into place.

Microsoft®Windows®Setup

Your Dell computer is preconfigured with

complete. The screens will take you through

several procedures including accepting license

agreements, setting preferences and setting up

an Internet connection.

NOTICE: Do not interrupt the operating

system’s setup process. Doing so may

render your computer unusable.

Connect to the Internet (Optional)

NOTE: ISPs and ISP offerings vary by

country.

To connect to the Internet, you need an external

modem or network connection and an Internet

service provider (ISP).

Setting Up a Wired Internet Connection

If you are using a dial-up connection, connect

the telephone line to the external USB modem

(optional) and to the telephone wall jack

before you set up your Internet connection.

If you are using a DSL or cable/satellite modem

connection, contact your ISP or cellular

telephone service for setup instructions.
