INSTALUNG

THE TV SWITCH BOX

The TV Switch Boxswitches your

television from regular TV pro-

grams to your ATARI400 computer.

Youcan also connect your antenna

or cable TV to the TV Switch Box.

When you want to switch from reg-

ular TV reception to your computer,

just slide the switch from the TV

to the Computer

Game position.

1The TV Switch Box connects

to the VHF antenna terminal

at the back of your TV set.

But first, you'll need to dis-

connect the present antenna

or cable from the TV and reconnect

it to the side of the TV Switch

Boxlabeled Antenna.

Notice

whether the cable

is round or flat. Ifyou

have a flat, twin-lead cable,

connect it to the terminals

marked

300 Ohm

on the TV Switch

Box. Ifyou have a round cable,

screw it onto the threaded connec-

tor marked

75 Ohm

Now locate the short

twin-lead cable marked

TV that comes from the

TV Switch Box and

connect it to the two VHF

terminals on your TV set.

Peel offthe protective

cover sheet from the self-

adhesive square and stick

the box onto the back of

your TV Ifyour TV set

was connected to a flat, twin-lead

(300 Ohm) cable, you're finished

installing the TV Switch Box.

However, if the cable is a

round (75 Ohm) one, you

may need to adjust the

antenna terminal switch

on your TV set so it can

receive the 300 Ohm signal from the

TV Switch Box. Check the antenna

connection on the back of your

TV and adjust it according to the

following diagrams.

UHF

If it looks like this, push

the switch to the 300 Ohm

(300n) position.VHF

If it looks like this, loosen

the screws holding the

U-shaped slider and move

it to the position marked

300 Ohm or 300 n.

If it looks like this, screw the

short round wire into the

connector provided.

CONNECTING

THE ATARI 400

COMPUTER CONSOLE

that comes from the back

of computer console. Plug

the end of this cord into

the terminal on the TV

Switch Box labeled Computer or

Game. Make sure the TV Switch

Boxis set to the Computer position.

Turn on your TV set and

.tune it to Channel 2 or 3

. - whichever is weaker in

your area.

Set the Channel Select

Switch on the back of the

computer console to the

same channel. After you

turn on the computer, you

may need to adjust the fine-tuning

knob on your TV to improve recep-

tion from the computer.

Locate the AC Power

Adaptor that comes with

the computer and plug

the round end of the

Power Adaptor into the

connector labeled Power Jack on

the side of the computer console.

Plug the other end into

a wall outlet.

You're now ready to

turn on your com-

puter. The main pow-

er switch, labeled

Power On/Off, is

located on the side panel. As soon

as you turn it on (provided the

cartridge door is closed and no

cartridge is inserted), the words

ATARICOMPUTER- MEMO PAD

ever you type on the keyboard is

now displayed on the TV screen.

your TV screen change periodically

ifyou don't use your computer for

a few minutes. This is perfectly

normal and is done to protect your

TV set.
