Date: 2015-10-07; view: 415.

Welcome to your new QD Personal Computer. Look in the box and you will find all the parts to set up your system. But you will need to use your own TV. First take out your QD computer and look at the back, where you will find 4 sockets. The package also contains an aerial lead. You will need that now. Connect one end of the aerial lead to the TV socket and the other to your TV. If your TV has 2 aerial sockets — UHF and VHF — don't use the VHF one. Now the power supply unit, which is also provided in the package. At the back of the computer you will see a socket marked DC-in. Connect one end of the supply unit to this DC-in socket. Connect the other end to a mains electricity socket. Your computer is now on.

Now the micro-disk drive and the lead, which you will find in the package. The lead consists of 2 cables. Each cable has a plastic label — one with MIC (mike) and the other with EAR (ear). Connect the MIC cable to the MIC socket at the back of the computer, and the EAR cable to the EAR socket. Don't worry about which end you use — they are the same. The other ends of the leads go into the micro-drive — one to EAR on the micro-drive, and the other to MIC. Now plug the power unit into the electricity socket at the mains. OK, you're nearly ready.

Now tune in your TV. Firstly turn it on, but with the volume down. Now press a button to select a channel that you don't use for a TV channel. Now use the tuning mechanism to find the right position. When you see the message QD COMPUTER on your TV screen, it is correctly tuned in. Always use that channel with your computer, because it is always ready for action. Now your system is connected and ready for use.

Finally take the Welcome' disk out of the package and insert it into the front of the disk-drive. Don't use force; and make sure the disk is the right way up. Just look at the arrows. Insert the disk and press the keys SHIFT and BREAK on the computer. The rest of the information is on the disk and it will appear on the screen.

If you have any problems with the equipment in the package, don't try to repair it yourself. Take it back to your supplier.

We wish you a lot of enjoyment with your new QD Personal Computer.
