Getting
to
Know
Your
Computer
Plug your computer into
a grounded, 3-prong
outlet of the appropriate
voltage.
(Voltage
re-
quirements
are on a
label
attached to
your
unit.)
Because electrical interference
and
surges can destroy data, do not use an outlet
that powers other heavy equipment.
For the best
protection against electrical
surges, we suggest
you
use a grounded
power strip. A good one to use is Radio
Shack's Automatic Power Strip, Cat. No.
26-1429.
Installing
Other Equipment
If
you purchased
additional equipment
(such
as a
printer), connect it to the
bottom of your
computer. The connectors are shown below.
When connecting equipment, be sure to
refer to the manual that comes with the
equipment, in addition to the illustration
provided here.
