    Your	MacBook	Pro	is	designed	so	that	you	can	set	it	up	quickly	and	start	using	it	right	
    away.	If	you	have	never	used	a	MacBook	Pro	or	are	new	to	Mac	computers, 	read	this	
    chapter	for	help	getting	started. 	
    Important:  Read	all	the	installation	instructions	(and	the	safety	information	starting	on	
    page	68)	carefully	before	you	first	use	your	computer.
    If	you’re	an	experienced	user, 	you	may	already	know	enough	to	get	started. 	Make	sure	
    you	look	over	the	information	in	Chapter	2, 	“Life	with	 Your	MacBook	Pro,” 	to	find	out	
    about	the	new	features	of	this	MacBook	Pro.
    Many	answers	to	questions	can	be	found	on	your	computer	in	Help	Center. 	For	
    information	about	using	Help	Center, 	see	“Getting	Answers” 	on	page	31.	The	latest	
    information	about	your	MacBook	Pro	is	available	on	the	Apple	Support	website	at	
    www.apple.com/support/macbookpro. 	Apple	may	release	new	versions	and	updates	
    to	its	system	software, 	so	the	images	shown	in	this	book	may	be	slightly	different	from	
    what	you	see	onscreen.

    Setting Up Your MacBook Pro
    Your	MacBook	Pro	is	designed	so	that	you	can	set	it	up	quickly	and	start	using	it	right	
    away.	The	following	pages	take	you	through	the	setup	process, 	including	these	tasks:
    	
    ÂPlugging	in	the	85W	MagSafe	Power	Adapter
    	
    ÂConnecting	cables	and	accessing	a	network
    	
    ÂTurning	on	your	MacBook	Pro

    Important:  Remove	the	protective	film	around	the	85W	MagSafe	Power	Adapter	
    before	setting	up	your	MacBook	Pro.
    Step 1:  Plug in the 85W MagSafe Power Adapter to provide power to the 
    MacBook Pro and charge the battery.
    Make	sure	the	AC	plug	is	fully	inserted	into	the	power	adapter	and	the	electrical	
    prongs	on	your	AC	plug	are	in	their	completely	extended	position. 	Insert	the	AC	
    plug	of	your	power	adapter	into	a	power	outlet	and	the	MagSafe	connector	into	the	
    MagSafe	power	port. 	As	the	MagSafe	connector	gets	close	to	the	port, 	you’ll	feel	a	
    magnetic	pull	drawing	it	in.

    To	extend	the	reach	of	your	power	adapter, 	replace	the	AC	plug	with	the	AC	power	
    cord. 	First	pull	the	AC	plug	up	to	remove	it	from	the	adapter, 	and	then	attach	the	
    included	AC	power	cord	to	the	adapter, 	making	sure	it’s	seated	firmly.
    When	disconnecting	the	power	adapter	from	an	outlet	or	from	the	computer, 	pull	the	
    plug, 	not	the	cord.
