First things first

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 Just for Starters... 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 eMachines

Recovery Management, using the keyboard, audio, etc. Please understand that

due to its nature, the Generic User Guide as well as the eMachinesSystem User

Guide mentioned below 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 eMachinesSystem 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.
