Where to Go From Here
You’ve done everything you need to get your PowerBook up and running. The first time that
you turn your computer on, the Macintosh Setup Assistant takes you through the process of
configuring your computer and setting up for the Internet.
If you would like additional information, see the following:
Calibrating Your Battery for Best Performance
To get the longest running time from your PowerBook battery, let the battery run down
during the first week you have your PowerBook. Then fully charge it one time. Follow
these steps:
1
Plug in the power adapter and fully charge your PowerBook battery until the battery
indicator lights and the onscreen meter (see page 56) indicate that the battery is fully
charged.
2
Disconnect the power adapter and use your PowerBook until you see the first low
battery warning dialog box on the screen.
3
Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again.
