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. 
Follow these steps to access it:
1

Click on 

 Start, All Programs, eMachinesSystem.

Note: Viewing the file requires Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader is not
