Tighten the truss rod until the bow disappears.

If there's a bow just at where it meets the body or so, sometimes a simple tightening doesn't always do it. I would suggest trying it first, though. If it DOESN'T work, it occasionally helps to loosen the rod a bit, and then re-tighten it.

If you're ever unsure of how to do something like this, I would suggest taking it to someone who is qualified to do the work. I would ask them if maybe they could show you how to properly adjust your truss rod. It's nice to be able to do your own work, but it's hard to do if you've never been shown how!
