STEP 13
Connect the appropriate cord to the side of
your computer, next to the ON/OFF switch.
Plug the other cord into an electrical outlet.
DO YOUR FIRST TEST RUN
Now for the moment of truth.
STEP 14
Turn the switch on the TV/game switch box to
the TV position. Turn on your TV set. It should
display a regular TV picture.
STEP 15
Now turn the switch to the GAME position.
Change the TV channel to the channel on
which the modulator slide is set (Channel 3 or
Channel 4). The TV should stay on, but it will
not display a picture.
STEP 16
Finally, turn on the power switch on the side
of your computer. The red power light above
the keyboard should immediately light up, and
the TV screen should darken for a moment.
Then the TV screen lights up again and a mes
sage appears, showing that your computer is
ready to work.
If this doesn't happen, immediately turn off the
computer and TV. Unplug the computer
power supply from the wall outlet. Before you
plug it in again, be sure to check all of your
connections very carefully.
If you don't find anything wrong, try plugging
in and turning on the computer again. If you
still can't get your computer to operate
correctly, see the Troubleshooting Guide that
follows Chapter 4 of this book. A checklist of
possible problems and probable remedies is
provided for you there. Possibly you have
missed some part of the necessary setup, or
perhaps your computer is in need of service. If
after referring to the Troubleshooting Guide,
you still cannot find the problem, call your
dealer and ask for help.
