Answering machine I can’t record an

outgoing message.

Use the phone you connected to your computer, rather than the microphone in the display, to record the message. If you haven’t set up a phone on the computer, directions are on your Welcome Poster.

CD The message “System Error: Unable to read drive” appears when running a CD program.

◆Make sure that the CD is placed into the drive with the label side up.

◆Wait 5 to 10 seconds after closing the CD drawer to give the computer time to recognize the CD.

◆Are you trying to play a DVD in a CD player? A DVD will not play in a CD player. To play a DVD, you must have a special DVD player.

Display My display doesn’t work, even though the computer appears to work.

◆Make sure that the power cord is securely plugged into the display.

◆Make sure that the display is turned on—it has its own power switch.

◆Make sure that your power cord is plugged into a grounded three-prong outlet. Check to see whether the outlet works by plugging another item (such as a lamp) into the outlet. (If the light on the front of the display is lit, it is getting power. Try the next item on this list.)

◆Check the cable connection between the display and the computer. The cable connectors must be pushed in all the way.

◆Adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the display. (The information may be there, but you just can’t see it.)
