•Appropriate power sources. To prevent static charges, connect all your equipment to 3-prong, 120-volt grounded outlets. You need one outlet for the main unit, one for the monitor, and additional outlets for a printer and any other peripherals. The auxiliary power outlet on the rear panel of the Equity II+ reduces the number of wall outlets you need.

•No electromagnetic interference. Locate your system away from any electrical device that generates an electromagnetic field. Even a tele- phone can cause trouble, especially if you keep diskettes right next to it.
