A. Getting Started
Unpacking the computer
Your computer is supplied in three boxes. In addition to this manual they
should contain:
In the first box:
-- a monitor unit (similar to a television);
an interconnecting lead;
-- an instruction booklet.
In the second box:
-- the computer unit (with a keyboard);
-- a 'Welcome Disc';
-- a guarantee card;
-- a VIEW reference card;
-- a VIEWIABC function key card;
-- a Logo guide.
In the third box:
-- the disc drive and monitor stand;
-- a mains power lead for the disc drive unit.
Fill in the details on the guarantee card immediately and then put it in a safe
place. Unpack all the items listed above, then flatten the cardboard boxes and
keep them and the polystyrene inserts so that, in the unlikely event of a fault,
the computer may be safely returned to your supplier. If any of the items listed
above are missing you should contact your supplier.
Connecting the components
Place the disc drive unit on a flat horizontal surface, running the disc and
power cables coming out of the unit underneath, so that they are now lying in
front of it. Avoid soft surfaces, such as carpets, which may block the ventilation
slots in the casing. You will need a mains power outlet nearby, and you should
allow yourself some space at the rear to allow easy access to cables. Position the
computer in front of the disc drive unit, as shown on the next page.
