% Starting the XO

Starting the XO
===============

![image](images/417_600w.png)
To start the XO, press the Power button, near the lower right corner of
the screen. The XO takes about 30 seconds to start up.

If the battery needs charging, the light next to the power button glows
red. Plug the AC adaptor into the left side of the XO and plug the power
cord into an outlet if you see the red light or if the XO does not start
up.

If you have difficulty starting your XO, refer to the Repairing chapter
for ideas.

Starting for the first time
===========================

After you press the power button and the XO initially starts up, the XO
sceen asks for your first name. The next time you start it, it remembers
your name and goes directly to the Home View. Later on you can learn how
to change to a nick name of your choosing.

-   Type your name.

-   After you enter your name, click Next. (Use a finger on the touchpad
    below the keyboard to move the arrow over the word "Next". Press the
    key below the touchpad on the left with an "X" on it to "click".)

-   Next, you see a small O on top of an X. This symbol represents you
    when you use your XO. Use your finger on the touchpad to move the
    arrow over the person symbol. "Click" this person symbol by pressing
    the key with an "X" on the left below the touchpad to choose colors
    that you like.

-   After you chose your colors, click "Done."

Putting the XO to sleep
=======================

When you are ready to stop using your XO for a while, you can put it to
sleep by pushing the power key you used to turn it on. The screen that
appears when you push the power button shows the two reasons for
sleeping; when you haven't been using it for a while, or when you push
the power button.

Shutting down the XO
====================

When you have finished using the computer, push the power key twice
within in 5 seconds. The first push will display the sleep window. The
second push will display the large stop sign.

TODO: \< we need a screen shot of the stop sign image \>

Forced Shutdown
===============

Whenever the XO becoumes unresponsive to the keyboard or the
touchscreen, you can make an emergency shutdown by pressing and holding
the power button for a few seconds. Be careful that your power button
does not get "stuck" in the down position. If it does get stuck, the XO
does not detect the depression of the power button, and does not turn
on. If this happens, refer to the Repairing chapter for information.
