details the energy-efficient features of the computer and contains

pictorial guides to help you identify the various parts of the

Regulatory section of this manual before using the computer for the first

time.

♦ Apricot PC system unit.

♦ System unit AC power cord, and monitor power cord,

appropriate for the country of sale.
