Setting Up the Atari 800

To begin the installation process, have a television set ready and every item

described in the first section next to you.

Installing the TV Switch Box:

1. Disconnect any cables and/or antennas from the television and connect them to

the TV switch box to where it says ANTENNA. If the cables are flat, connect it to

the terminal marked as 300 OHM on the switch box. If they are round, connect

it to the connector marked as 75 OHM.

2. On the switch box, connect the short twin-lead cable marked as TV onto the two

VHF terminals on your television set.

3. Remove the self-adhesive square on the switch box and press it onto the back of

your television.

4. Both cables may require fine tuning or adjusting to work properly.

Connecting the Computer Console:

1. Locate the round cord on the back of the computer and connect it to the switch

box terminal that says COMPUTER (GAME).

2. Switch your television channel to either 2 or 3 (whichever is weaker in your area).

3. Change the channel on the Atari 800 to the same as the one on your television.

The channel switch is located on the right side of the Atari 800.

4. Connect the AC power adapters round end to the POWER IN terminal on the

computer. Afterwards, plug the other end into a wall outlet.

5. Turn the Atari 800 on by finding the power switch located on the right side and

turning it to ON. Once done correctly, the screen should say: ATARI COMPUTER-

MEMO PAD.

Congratulations on powering on your Atari 800 computer system!

Keyboard Functions

The Atari 800’s keyboard is similar to other computer systems, which allows for

a smooth typing experience. As a result, only the keys unique to the Atari 800

will be discussed in this section. However, before learning their functions take a

moment to familiarize yourself with the keyboard as much as possible.

Atari Key: This key is used to test how fonts look against

different background colors in inverse video. To use it, the

Atari key must be pressed at the same time as the number 2

key. Pressing the Atari key by itself will do nothing. To return

to regular video, simply press the Atari key again.

System Reset: This key will stop any programs currently

running and reset the computer.

Option: This key shows the different variations available from

an application or game.

Select: This key will select an application from a program or

cartridge.

Start: This key will allow the computer to start running any

application or game.

or adjusted to work properly).

If the power light of the Atari 800 is not on:
