First, Install the Batteries
Your chess computer runs on two "AAA" (AM4/RO3)
batteries. For longer battery life (up to 300 hours), use fresh
alkaline batteries. Insert the batteries as shown in Figure 1-1.
Press GO to turn the computer on—a beep signals that the
game is ready to play. If the computer does not respond, use
