Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, use the built-in Windows setup wizard for your regional settings. We recommend running the `AcerSense` tool immediately after setup to check for system updates and battery health management.
Compatibility
The laptop supports a wide range of peripherals via its Thunderbolt 4 port, including docking stations, high-resolution external monitors, and external SSDs. Use Intel Unison to link your mobile device; ensure both the phone and laptop are on the same network during the initial pairing process.
Care
Keep the large display clean by using only a dry, soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratches. Periodically clear dust from the side air vents with a blast of compressed air to ensure optimal airflow and prevent thermal throttling. Avoid placing heavy objects on the lid when the laptop is closed to protect the screen panel.
