Once you have connected the monitor, keyboard, and peripheral

devices to your computer, you are ready to turn your computer on. Plug

the power cord into an electrical outlet. But, before you turn on the

computer, read the following safety rules which help you avoid acciden-

tal damage to the computer, or injury to yourself.

Never turn the computer ON or OFF with the disk drive protector

sheets in the disk drives.

Do not attempt to dismantle any part of the computer. You should

only remove the top cover to install and remove option cards. If

there appears to be a hardware problem that you cannot solve after

reading the Troubleshooting section, or if you wish to install an

math coprocessor, consult your Epson dealer.

Always turn off the power, disconnect the main power cord, and

wait for a few minutes before removing the cover from the computer

(to install or remove option cards only).

Never unplug any cables from the computer while the power switch

is turned ON.

Never turn the computer OFF when a disk is turning in a floppy disk

drive or while one of the red drive select lamps is on. This causes data

to be lost and may make the whole disk unusable. The same can

happen to hard disk drives, and even more data can be destroyed.

Always wait at least

switching it ON again. Turning it OFF and ON rapidly can damage

the computer's circuitry.

Do not leave any glass of liquid beverage on top of your peripherals.

Spilled liquid damages the circuitry of your unit(s).

If necessary, turn on the monitor to warm up the screen display so

you can see the messages displayed as the computer starts up. The com-

puter can be turned on with or without a system disk in drive A (the

upper disk drive). For now, open the cover at the top right of the front
