Setup and Care
Getting Started:
Charge the laptop fully before first use by connecting the included 45W USB-C adapter. Windows 11 Home is pre-installed, so setup is guided from first power-on.
Keeping It Running Well:
Keep Windows Update and driver updates current via MyASUS to maintain performance and security. Store the laptop in a clean, dry environment and avoid exposing it to liquids or direct prolonged sunlight. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water to wipe the display and keyboard surfaces.
Battery Care:
For everyday desk use where the adapter is frequently connected, the MyASUS Battery Care Mode option can help preserve long-term battery health by limiting maximum charge. When using the laptop on battery, the fast-charge feature restores 60% capacity in 49 minutes for quick top-ups between tasks.
Webcam Privacy:
Slide the physical privacy shutter across the webcam lens when the camera is not in use. This is a mechanical cover that operates independently of any software setting, providing a straightforward way to keep the camera blocked when not needed.
