CHAPTER ONE: THE GUIDED TOUR
[WinBook XP]
This chapter contains everything you need to get started using your WinBookXP. Take a look at
it before you go racing for the power switch and we’ll save you a little time. We’ll go over what
you’ll pull out of the box, what everything is, and how to connect things so you can be up and
running in no time. You can use your WinBookxp right out of the box after you do just a few
things, so, here we go.
Unpacking
When you open your WinBookXP shipping carton you’ll find several items – including this
manual, which of course you looked at before you did anything else, right? The rest of the
goodies are all carefully packed to protect them during shipping – and reshipping – so go easy on
the packing materials in the box and don’t throw anything away. You’ll need the whole setup
later should you ever need to ship your computer for upgrades, service, or anything else. Take
everything out to make sure that what should have come with the compute is there. There’s a
quick visual guide on the next pages, for you to refer to . In addition to the computer and its AC
Adapter and power cords, there should be software packages with manuals and disks. Once
you’re sure everything’s there, go ahead and take a look at the computer. If anything is missing,
contact the number listed on the "Read-Me-First"sheet, which is packed with the WinBookXP.
This sheet has the information you'll need to contact Customer Service for your version of the
WinBookXP.
