ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment,
observe these practices:
■Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
■Disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the AC
outlet (not by unplugging the power cord from the computer).
■If provided with a 3-pin attachment plug on your power cord, plug the cord into

If the automatic logon is disabled by the network administrator, log on as follows:
1. In the Log On to Windows dialog box, type your information in the User
Name and Password boxes.
❏For a user, the initial user name and password are both User.
❏For an administrator, the initial user name and password are both
Administrator.
2. Click OK.
Note the following considerations:
■To prevent unauthorized access to your information, change your password as
soon as possible after setup.
■Passwords are case sensitive, but user names are not.
Administrator logon
To access the administrator logon screen in either automatic or manual logon mode:
1. Hold down the left Shift key, and then click Start.
2. Click Shut Down, and then click Log Off.
