1 INTRODUCING . . .

This chapter gives you a quick tour of your new Apricot computer. As soon as you’ve unpacked the components and familiarised yourself with them, you should progress to the next chapter, “Getting Started”.

Warning

Read the separate Power Connection Guide before using the computer for the first time.

Unpacking

On unpacking the computer, you should find:

♦Apricot PC system unit.

♦Apricot/Mitsubishi monitor and accompanying User’s Guide.

♦Apricot extended keyboard and two-button mouse.

♦System unit AC power cord, and monitor power cord, appropriate for the country of sale.

♦System documentation (this Owner’s Handbook, etc.)

♦Microsoft Windows 95 or (if requested) Microsoft MS-DOS and Windows for Workgroups documentation.

More elaborate systems may include software or hardware options with accompanying installation diskettes and additional documentation. Some of these options may have been factory- configured or installed by your supplier.

Keep the cartons, boxes and packaging materials; you will need them again if you have to transport the computer elsewhere.

Make a note of the manufacturer’s data recorded on the various components (product codes, serial numbers, etc.). A service engineer may need this information if the computer develops a fault.
