Commodore 128 - Switching on

SWITCHING ON
Plug the monitor, C128 and disk drive into the mains power supply.
When you switch
on your C128 for the first time, use C128 Mode to test
that all the equipment works correctly.
If you are using a TV set, a composite monitor, e.g. the 1701 , or a 1901
dual monitor, ensure that the 40 / 80 key is in the 40 column position (not
depressed).
If this key is depressed, press it once to release it to its raised
position.
If you are using a 1901 dual monitor, set it to separated
chroma/ luma. This
is described in the 1901 user manual.
If you are using an RGBI monitor, ensure that the 40 / 80 key is in the 80
column position (depressed). If this key is in its raised position, press it
once to depress it.
Switch on the monitor as
described in the monitor user
manual. The C128
is switched
on by setting the On / Off Switch
on the side of the computer to
