The modulator/power supply (MP1) should be positioned to the right of the computer on a suitable
table close to the TV set and the Mains Supply socket. As shown in figure 2, connect the lead with
the larger (6 pin DIN) plug from the MP1 to the socket marked MONITOR on the back of the
computer. Connect the lead with the smaller (DC power) Plug from the MPl to the socket marked 5V
DC on the back of the computer.
Connect the lead with the aerial plug from the MP1 to the aerial socket of your TV set.
Check that the computer POWER switch on the right hand end is set to the OFF position and then
connect the Mains Plug from the MP1 into the Supply Socket.
Now reduce the volume control on your TV set to a minimum, switch on your TV, and then switch on
the computer using the slide switch marked POWER on the right hand end.
The red ON lamp at the top centre of the computer keyboard unit should be illuminated, and you
must now tune in your TV set to receive the signal from the computer.
If you have a TV with push-button channel selection, press a channel button to select a spare or
unused channel. Adjust the corresponding tuning control in accordance with the TV set
manufacturer' s instructions (the signal will be approximately at channel 36 if your TV has a marked
tuning scale), until you receive a picture that looks like:
