BOOTING THE SYSTEM

We strongly recommend that you not attach any external
devices and do not put a DVD/CD in your drive until
you have gone through the initial power on sequence.

When you turn on your LifeBook notebook for the first
time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you
do nothing the system will load the operating system,
and then the Windows Welcome will begin.

Designed to accommodate the needs of many users, in
many different countries, Windows needs to be config-
ured the first time you use them. Windows has three
parts:

■

Getting Started: You have the opportunity to enter
custom information for your configuration file and
setup your modem so that your LifeBook notebook
will be prepared to dial out.

■

Registration: Easy online registration for Windows
with Microsoft, and for your LifeBook notebook with
Fujitsu.

■

Windows License Agreement and Final Settings:
You have the opportunity to review the Windows
License Agreement.

Getting Started

Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill
in the information as directed. You will be asked for such
items as the language you wish to use, the country in
which you live, your first and last name, and about
how you dial out from where you will be using your Life-
Book notebook. For the modem settings, enter your
current location information where you will be using
your LifeBook notebook. If you are not connected to a
phone line and plan to register at a later time, you may
click the

Skip

button, and you will go directly to the

condition of use page.

Once you have set up your LifeBook notebook to dial
out, Windows will make a free telephone call to test the
settings. If the call is unsuccessful, you will be returned
to the phone settings page where you may try to fix
them. If you are unable to fix the settings please contact
Fujitsu Service and Support. (See Fujitsu Contact Infor-
mation on page 3 for more information) If you would
simply like to move on, and register at a later time, you
may click the

Skip

button, and you will go directly to the

Condition of Use page.

Registration

If your connection is successful, you will go to the
Registration Confirmation page. On this page simply
enter the requested information, and then check the box
at the bottom to register your copy of Windows with
Microsoft. Once you have finished, click the

Next

button

to continue.

You will then go through the Fujitsu registration process.
Follow the instructions on the screens, and enter all of
the necessary information. Be as specific as possible so
that if you need help the service and support team will
be able to serve you better.

Final Settings

The first part of your final settings is the Windows End
User License Agreement. Read the agreement carefully.
When you finish reading you must accept or reject the
terms of the agreement and then click on the

Next

button.

WINDOWS PRODUCT ACTIVATION
(WINDOWS XP ONLY)

After initial startup of the system, you have thirty days to
activate your copy of Windows XP. Product activation
ensures that your copy of Windows cannot be used on
another system.

Until you activate the product, you will be prompted
whenever you turn on the system that activation is
required. Follow the on-screen directions to activate
your operating system. The product only needs to be
activated once, unless significant hardware changes are
made to your system.

Note that Product Activation and Registration are not
the same thing. Registration is optional, whereas
Product Activation is a required procedure.

P O I N T

You may click Cancel at any time within this process to
shut down Windows. You may restart this process at
any time in the future, but you must complete it in
order to use your computer.

P O I N T

If you do not register at this time you can do it later
simply by double-clicking on the LifeBook Registration
icon on your desktop and following the instructions.

P O I N T S

■

If you reject the terms of the license agreement you
will be asked to review the license agreement for
information on returning Windows or to shut down
your LifeBook notebook.

■

You cannot use your LifeBook notebook until you
have accepted the License Agreement. If you stop
the process your notebook will return to the begin-
ning of the Windows Welcome Process, even if you
shut your notebook down and start it up again.
