First things first
We would like to thank you for making an Acer notebook your choice for meeting
your mobile computing needs.
Your guides
To help you use your Acer notebook, we have designed a set of guides:
First off, the setup poster helps you get started with setting up your computer.
The Aspire One Generic User Guide contains useful information applying to all
models in the Aspire product series. It covers basic topics such as using the
keyboard and audio, etc. Please understand that due to its nature, the Generic
User Guide 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 Aspire One Generic 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:
1Click on Start > All Programs > AcerSystem.
2Click on AcerSystem User Guide.
Note: Viewing the file requires Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader is not installed
on your computer, clicking on AcerSystem User Guide will run the Adobe
Reader setup program first. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete
the installation. For instructions on how to use Adobe Reader, access the Help
and Support menu.
