Your guides

To help you use your eMachines notebook, we have designed a set of guides:

First off, the setup poster helps you get started with setting up your computer.

The eMachines Generic User Guide contains useful information applying to all models in the eMachines product range. It covers basic topics such as system recovery, using the keyboard, audio, etc. Please understand that due to its nature, the eMachines Generic User Guide will occasionally refer to functions or features which are only contained in certain models, but not necessarily in the model you have purchased. Such instances are marked in the text with language such as "only for certain models".

This 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 eMachines Generic User Guide, which 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:

1 Click on 📋 Start > All Programs > eMachines Documentation.

2 Click on eMachines Generic User Guide.

Note: Viewing the file requires Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader is not installed on your computer, clicking on eMachines Generic User Guide will run the Adobe Reader setup program first.
