details the energy-efficient features of the computer and contains
pictorial guides to help you identify the various parts of the
machine. As soon as you’ve unpacked the components and
familiarised yourself with them, you should progress to the next
chapter, ‘Getting Started’.

time.

♦ Apricot PC system unit.
♦ 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
