Unpack the Laptop from its carry sleeve and use the included power cable to
charge as shown below:
Note: Laptops come with both power adapters and electrical plugs. If you are
travelling to a country which uses a different power supply (110V as opposed to
220V), you will need only a different electrical plug which fits the wall socket of
the country to which you are travelling. These country specific plugs can be
purchased at electronics stores or at most airports. The power adapter acts as an
electrical converter for both voltages.
Note: All Senior School
class rooms will be
equipped with a power
adapter for your use.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network
Wi-FiatSchool
The Laptop should automatically pick up and connect to the school’s Wi-Fi
network but if it does not, please follow the directions below and choose the
network called ISB-NET. The School also has an ISB-Guest-NET network set up for
visiting guests to use. Do not use the ISB-Guest-Net network as it will not permit
you access to the school’s shared drives and will cause connection problems
next time you try to connect.
If, while at School, the Wi-Fi connection is lost, a network cable must be used to
gain access to the system. There are certain areas within School which have
limited Wi-Fi access (i.e. NEO and the Drama room).
Before moving out of a Wi-Fi area, ensure that all
PASS transactions have been updated. PASS
transactions (i.e. attendance) which have not
been concluded prior to losing the Wi-Fi
connection will be lost.
Wi-FiatHomeorontheGo
If you are connecting to a Wireless (Wi-Fi) network, click on the network icon in
the notification area at the bottom of your screen to see all the available
connections where you are located and the signal strength of each.
Next, click on the network to which you would like to
connect.
It is imperative that all PASS
transactions are concluded while still
connected to the network!
Publicly available Wi-Fi networks are
known as Hotspots. Some of these
networks do not require a password
and are free to use while others require
a subscription.

After selecting Connect, the computer will start checking the wireless network for
security information. Ensure Connect automatically is ticked for future automatic
connection. If the network system is not open and requires a password, a panel
will pop up where the security key can be entered; ticking the Hide characters box
will only show dots instead of your security key. You may also press a Connect
button on some home DSL boxes that will automatically populate the security
key. If the network is open, this panel will not pop up and will go directly to the
next step.
Once the security key has been successfully entered, the below panel will pop up
for you to define the type of network; choose from the choices provided (Home,
Work or Public).
