Your Sony EB1E0E laptop guide

Read this first. It’ll help you get started.

We’re better, connected

Tips before getting started

• Some messages from McAfee might pop up while you set up your laptop.

Close them down until you’ve registered. Within two days of buying your laptop,

we’ll send you your username and password so you can register your McAfee

internet security. But don’t worry, the software will still work and you’ll still

be protected.

• If you need to download Windows Updates, use a Wi-Fi or home broadband

connection. Updates are often large files, so it’ll be quicker – and it won’t use up

your data allowance.

• There’s a glossary at the end for any names or terms you’re not sure about.

• For peace of mind, you have an extended warranty (up to two years). You need

to activate the second year’s warranty on the Sony Vaio website within your

first year. Do this at http://www.vaio.eu/register. There’s also more information

about this in the box.

Getting started

1. What to do first

1. Put in the battery. With the laptop upside down, line up the battery hinge holes

at the ends of the battery with the hinges on the laptop. Twist the battery towards

you to close the battery. Then close the battery lock.

2. Remove all the packaging and plastic film from your laptop's lid and screen.

3. Plug it in.

4. Turn it on.

The first time you use the battery, charge it for at least two and a half hours.

(You can use your laptop while it’s charging.)

2. Setting up Windows

This will take about fifteen minutes.

Windows will start to prepare your laptop as soon as you turn it on.

1. Choose your country or region, time and currency, and your keyboard layout.

Click Next.

2. Type a username. You can choose a computer name too. Click Next.

3. Type a password (you don't have to enter a password, but if you do, remember

to make a note of it). Click Next.

4. Read the agreements. If you accept, tick the boxes. Click Next.

5. Choose Ask me later. We'll tell you how to turn Windows updates on later.

6. Set your time and date. Click Next.

7. Choose Skip. We'll tell you how to set up wireless networks later.

Windows will now configure your laptop. Your ø Software will also be installed now.

It might take a while, so make sure you keep your computer plugged in.

8. On the Sony Vaio Welcome screen click Continue.

9. On the Windows Live screen, click Accept.

10. On the Windows Live Settings screen, choose whether you want to help improve

Microsoft software and services and click Finish.

3. Connecting to the internet

Open your ø Mobile Broadband box and follow the user guide. It’ll tell you all you

need to know.

There’s more to come

You still need to set up your virus protection to keep your laptop safe. Once you’re

online, come back to this guide and carry on with the set up.

Tip: As you connect to the internet for the first time you may see the pop ups listed in

section 4.

4. Once you’re connected

These boxes might pop up:

• A McAfee warning telling you your computer isn’t fully protected. Your computer

is protected, you just haven’t registered your software yet. Close this box for now.

We’ll show you how to register with McAfee later in the guide.

• A McAfee box asking you to choose what sort of network you’re connected to.

Follow the instructions, choose your network and click OK. We recommend you

add ‘O2-UK’ network as Trusted (If you’re connected to any other network,

choose the appropriate option).

Using your Laptop

Here's some information on how to get the best out of your laptop.

1. Windows updates

Updates are often large files, so it will be quicker if you use a Wi-Fi or home

broadband connection – and it won't use up your data allowance. Follow these

steps to keep Windows up to date:

1. Click at the bottom left of the screen.

2. Choose All Programs.

3. Click Windows Update.

4. Click Let me choose my settings.

5. Select Check for updates but let me choose whether to download

and install them from the dropdown menu. Click OK. Windows will now check

for updates.

Tip: Updates are often large files, so it’ll be quicker if you use a Wi-Fi or

home broadband connection – and it won’t use up your data allowance.

2. About McAfee Internet Security

You’ve got McAfee Internet Security for the life of your ø contract.

It protects you and your family when you’re online.

McAfee Internet Security includes:

• Anti-virus

• Anti-spyware

• Anti-spam

• Anti-phishing

• Two-way Firewall

• Web Site Safety Ratings

• Parental Controls

3. Registering McAfee security

McAfee Internet Security is included in your contract. Your computer will be protected

by McAfee as soon as you set it up. But you’ll need to register to get updates and

keep your computer as safe as possible.
