Troubleshooting Guide
If nothing appears on the television screen once the power of the Atari
800 is tuned on:
Check to see if your television channel is set to 2 or 3. (This will depend on the
area you live in.)
Adjust the cables on the switch box (sometimes these cables need to tightened
or adjusted to work properly).
If the power light of the Atari 800 is not on:
Make sure the AC Power Adaptor is plugged in.
Make sure the cartridge is fully closed.
Make sure all other cables are properly plugged in and in their respective slots.
