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:
 Plugging in the power adapter
 Connecting the cables
 Turning on your MacBook Pro
 Configuring a user account and other settings using Setup Assistant

Step 1: Plug In the Power Adapter
If there is protective film around the power adapter, remove it before setting up your MacBook Pro. Insert the AC plug of your power adapter into an outlet and the power adapter plug into the MacBook Pro power adapter port. As you get close to the port, you will feel a magnet, which helps draw and guide the power adapter plug in.

To extend the reach of your power adapter, you can attach the AC power cord. First, pull up on the AC plug to remove it from the adapter, and then attach the included AC power cord to the adapter. Plug the other end into a power outlet. For an illustration, see page 30. Step 2: Connect Your Cables Next, for an Internet connection, connect your MacBook Pro to a DSL modem, cable modem, external modem, or Ethernet network. If you’re connecting to a wireless AirPort Extreme network, you don’t need cables. For information about types of connections, see Appendix C, “Connecting to the Internet,” on page 115.

Note: Using a dial-up connection requires the external Apple USB Modem, available for purchase from the online Apple Store or from an Apple
Authorized Reseller. Plug the Apple USB Modem into a USB port on the MacBook Pro, and then connect a phone cord (not included) from the modem into a phone wall jack. To connect to a DSL or cable modem or an Ethernet network:m Connect the cable to your DSL or cable modem as shown in the modem instructions, or connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet hub or outlet. Then connect the other end of the cable to the computer’s Ethernet (G) port.

To connect wirelessly using AirPort:
1 Turn AirPort on, if necessary, by choosing “Turn AirPort on” from the AirPort (Z) status menu in the menu bar. AirPort detects available wireless networks. 2 Choose a network from the AirPort (Z) status menu. Step 3: Turn On Your MacBook Pro
1 To turn on the MacBook Pro, press the power (®) button briefly (up to 1 second). Do not continue to hold down or press the power button after the startup tone or you might cause the computer to shut down again. When you turn on the computer, you should see the sleep indicator light turn on (and stay on), and you should hear a tone.

It takes the MacBook Pro a few moments to start up. After it starts up, the sleep indicator light turns off, and Setup Assistant opens automatically. 2 Use your MacBook Pro trackpad to select and move items on the screen, just like you use a mouse with a desktop computer.
 To move the arrow pointer on the screen, slide your finger across the trackpad.
