Now we need to assemble the AC Adaptor. Grab the AC Adaptor Power Brick and the Power Cord.

On the brick, you will see a 3-prong hole.

And on the Power Cord you will see a 3-prong end.

Now plug the 3-prong end of the Power Cord firmly and all

the way into the 3-prong hole on the AC Adaptor.

Finally, plug the other end of the AC Adaptor into the Power

Port on the back of the Laptop.

Congratulations!!! You have wireless internet!

Valued Customer,

With your recent computer purchase, you are now capable of connecting your computer to

an existing wireless network. We have taken the time to make sure the software and drivers have

already been installed for you to make the setup process easier.

Setting up your wireless internet:

• The first thing you need to do in order to setup a wireless network is to call your local

Internet Service Provider (ISP) and sign up for high speed internet.

You can NOT setup a wireless network with dial-up internet.

• So I have High Speed Internet, now what? To setup a wireless network, you need a

‘Wireless Router’. If your ISP does not provide this for you, you can pick one up at your

local computer store. There will be some configuration of the wireless router and your

ISP or the manufacturer of the router will be able to help you set it up.

• Connecting to your wireless network: To connect to your wireless internet, insert your

wireless card into your laptop and use the wireless configuration utility to set up the

connection. The utility can be found in the Start Menu. If you need assistance when

connecting to your wireless network, the manufacturer of your wireless router or your ISP

can help.

• At a Restaurant or Café or any other ‘Public Access’ or ‘Hotspot’. For information on

how to connect to any public hotspot please see staff or customer service at the location.

**NOTE: GCM, Inc. DOES NOT support the many different brands of routers and access points there are on

the market and therefore will not be able to configure or troubleshoot your wireless network. The only piece of

hardware or software we can support is anything dealing with the wireless card itself. If you need help to

reinstall your wireless adaptor, or if you think it is not functioning properly, please call 952 882 8500 for

assistance.***

Please Open, Inspect, and Set Up your Computer Immediately.
