TO SET UP YOUR RASPBERRY PI YOU WILL NEED:
ITEM MINIMUM RECOMMENDED
SPECIFICATION & NOTES
1microSD card Minimum size 4Gb; class 4 (the class indicates
how fast the card is).
We recommend using branded SD cards as
they are more reliable.
2A HDMI to
HDMI / DVI
lead
HDMI to HDMI lead (for HD TVs and monitors
with HDMI input).
OR
HDMI to DVI lead (for monitors with DVI input).
2B RCA video
lead
A 3.5mm to RCA composite video lead and
stereo audio cable is required to connect to your
analogue display if you are not using the HDMI
output.
3Keyboard and
mouse
Any standard USB keyboard and mouse should
work.
Keyboards or mice that take a lot of power from
the USB ports, however, may need a powered
USB hub. This may include some wireless
devices.
4Ethernet
cable
[optional]
Networking is optional, although it makes updating
and getting new software for your Raspberry Pi
much easier.
Power
adapter
A good quality, micro USB power supply that can
provide at least 600mA at 5V is essential.

PLUGGING IN YOUR RASPBERRY PI
Before you plug anything into your Raspberry Pi, make sure that you have all
the equipment listed above to hand. Then follow these instructions:
1. Begin by slotting your microSD card into the microSD card slot on the
Raspberry Pi, which will only fit one way.
2. Next, plug in your USB keyboard and Mouse into the USB slots on the
Raspberry Pi.
3. Make sure that your monitor or TV is turned on, and that you have
selected the right input (e.g. HDMI 1, DVI, etc).
4. Then connect your HDMI cable from your Raspberry Pi to your
monitor or TV.
5. If you intend to connect your Raspberry Pi to the internet, plug in an
ethernet cable into the ethernet port next to the USB ports, otherwise
skip this step.
6. When you are happy that you have plugged in all the cables and
microSD card required, finally plug in the micro usb power supply. This
action will turn on and boot your Raspberry Pi.
LOGGING INTO YOUR RASPBERRY PI
1. Once your Raspberry Pi has completed the boot process, a login
prompt will appear. The default login for Raspbian is username pi with
the password raspberry. Note you will not see any writing appear when
you type the password. This is a security feature in Linux.
2. After you have successfully logged in, you will see the command line
prompt pi@raspberrypi~$
3. To load the graphical user interface, type startx and press Enter on your
keyboard.

WARNINGS
This product shall only be connected to an external power supply rated
at 5V dc, and a minimum current of 600-1800mA. Any external power
supply used with the Raspberry Pi shall comply with relevant regulations
and standards applicable in the country of intended use.
This product should be operated in a well ventilated environment and, if
used inside a case, the case should not be covered.
This product should be placed on a stable, flat, non-conductive surface in
use and should not be contacted by conductive items.
The connection of incompatible devices to the GPIO connector may affect
compliance or result in damage to the unit and invalidate the warranty.
All peripherals used with the Raspberry Pi should comply with relevant
standards for the country of use and be marked accordingly to ensure
that safety and performance requirements are met. These articles include
but are not limited to keyboards, monitors, and mice used in conjunction
with the Raspberry Pi.
Where peripherals are connected that do not include the cable or
connector, the cable or connector used must offer adequate insulation
and operation in order that the requirements of the relevant performance
and safety requirements are met.
PART TWO: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE
To avoid malfunction or damage to your Raspberry Pi please observe the
following:
Do not expose it to water, moisture or place on a conductive surface
whilst in operation.
Do not expose it to heat from any source; the Raspberry Pi is designed
for reliable operation at normal ambient room temperatures.
Take care whilst handling to avoid mechanical or electrical damage to the
printed circuit board andconnectors.
Avoid handling the printed circuit board while it is powered. Only handle
by the edges to minimise the risk of electrostatic discharge damage.
The Raspberry Pi is not designed to be powered from a USB port on
other connected equipment, if this is attempted it may malfunction.
