Choosing where to set up your computer
The monitor, if supplied with your model of computer, is in a separate box.
If you have bought any peripheral equipment to attach to your computer, such as a
printer, check that your supplier has provided the correct cables (see Appendix C:
Attaching peripheral devices if you're not sure).
Complete the Owner Registration Form and post it back to Acorn (purchasers outside
the UK should send it to their local supplier or national distributor). This will enable us
to inform you of new products and upgrades to your computer as they become
available.
Put all the packing back into the carton and put it away somewhere safe. If you ever
want to transport your computer, it is best to use the box, even if you only take it a short
distance in a car. If you ever have to take it back to your supplier, too, you must pack it
back into the original carton.
Choosing where to set up your computer
Bear the following points in mind when deciding exactly where to place your
computer:
• You'll need a firm, flat surface with enough space at one side to move the mouse
around, and space at the other side for manuals and papers you may be working
on.
• You'll need space nearby for any peripheral equipment (such as a printer).
• You'll need at least one easily-accessible power point within 1.5 metres of the
computer, plus extra power points for any peripherals you want to connect to the
computer.
• Don't place the computer where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, or any other
source of heat, such as a radiator.
• Sunlight or reflections from a window will make it difficult to see things on the
screen properly, so position your computer so that you can see the screen
comfortably.
• Make sure the keyboard is at a comfortable height and position for you to
avoid repetitive strain injuries if you're going to type for long periods.
