We would like to thank you for making an eMachines notebook your choice for
meeting your mobile computing needs.
Your guides
To help you use your eMachines notebook, we have designed a set of guides:
First off, the setup poster helps you get started with setting up your computer.
The eMachines Generic User Guide contains useful information applying to all
models in the eMachines product series. It covers basic topics such as using the
keyboard and audio, etc. Please understand that due to its nature, the Generic User
Guide 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 eMachines Generic 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 > Documentation.
2 Click on eMachines Generic User Guide.
Note: Viewing the file requires Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader is not
installed on your computer, clicking on eMachines Generic 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.
