Texas Instruments TI-99/4A - TIPS TO REMEMBER WHEN YOUR SYSTEM LOCKS UP

GENERAL PLACEMENT AND CARE OF
YOUR COMPUTER
Find a convenient location for your new TI-99/
4A computer system. The computer console
should be placed on a desk, table, or other flat
surface that is elevated enough so that you can
rest your hands comfortably on the keyboard. To
provide
the least amount of possible static inter
ference, the surface that you place the com
puter on should be nonmetallic. NEVERplace
the computer directly on top of a television set
or video monitor. The heat generated by most
monitors and television sets could damage your
computer. The ventilation slots along the rear
and at the top of the computer console should
not be restricted or covered when the computer
is turned on.
You may want to consider obtaining a computer
desk for your system. Many computer owners
eventually expand their systems. If you decide to
add the Peripheral Expansion System (described
in Chapter 4), you will need an additional 12
inches of space behind the computer. You may
also need space for a printer, should you decide
to purchase one.
CLEANING
Your computer does not require any special
cleaning. When you want to clean the com
puter, use a damp, lint-free cloth. Never use
commercial cleaners or other formulas on the
computer surface.
