Precautions

There are some precautions that you will need to take to help maximize the performance of your PC Services system. These will also help avoid electrical shock or fire.

• Read through all the instructions for your PC Services system, including this Quick Setup Manual, the online PC Services User's Manual, and any other manuals included with your system.
• Store the instructions for later use. You should also back up your PC Services online User's Manual (or print copies for storage).
• Always be sure that you are operating the computer on its proper voltage setting.
• Always connect the computer to a grounded 3-prong plug that carries the proper voltage rating for your computer.
• Locate the computer in an area that is not exposed to direct sunlight or heating ducts.
• Locate all components in areas that allow for proper ventilation and clear functioning of their fans.
• Do not overload the circuit: do not plug your computer into the same outlet or circuit with another major electrical appliance (television, air conditioner, stereo).
• Keep the area free of static electricity and magnetic fields. These can damage the computer or diskettes.
• Be sure to discharge static electricity from your body before touching the computer or keyboard.
• Keep food, drinks, smoke and ashes away from your computer.
• When cleaning the computer or its components, apply the proper cleaning solutions or sprays only to the cloth, not directly to the computer or its components.
• Before connecting or disconnecting any cables or before opening the case, shut down and unplug the components and the computer.
• If there is ever a need to disconnect internal components other than those mentioned in the instructions that came with your system, please have this done by a qualified technician.
• You should never attempt to physically repair a disk drive, CD-ROM drive or diskette drive yourself.
• Use only Compact Discs that bear the same marks on your CD-ROM drive.

How to Use this Manual

Before proceeding, you should be aware of some of the conventions of usage in this manual:

• Specific keyboard keys to be typed are indicated in square brackets: [Tab].
• Combinations of keys are indicated with a plus sign between the keys: [Shift]+[Tab]. For a combination of keys, you should depress the keys simultaneously. You might also find it easier to hold down the control keys ([Alt] or [Shift] or [Ctrl]) of the combination and then press the final key of the combination.
• The names of files in the old DOS and Windows 3.x file format are represented in all capital letters: FILENAME.CAP.
• The names of files in the Windows 98 long-filename format are represented as text contained within quotation marks: "Windows 98 file".
• Menus and Windows in Windows 98 are presented in boldface, for example: Control Panel.
• Paths to launch programs and documents from the Windows 98 Start button are represented as paths in boldface, for example: Start/Settings/Control Panel/System.
• When asked to "click" or "choose" or select," you should point the mouse cursor at a button or icon or menu choice. Quickly press and then release the left mouse button.
• When asked to "double-click," point the mouse cursor at a button or icon or menu choice. Quickly press and then release the left mouse button twice (if this does not activate the choice, you may need to click slightly faster or slower).
• When asked to "right-click," point the mouse cursor at a button or icon or menu choice. Quickly press and release the right mouse button.
• When asked to "drag," point the mouse cursor at a selected object or image or icon. Press and hold down the left button. Without releasing the button, move the mouse cursor to the desired location. Then release the left mouse button.
• When asked to "right-drag," point the mouse cursor at a selected object or image or icon. Press and hold down the right button. Without releasing the button, move the mouse cursor to the desired location. Then release the right mouse button.
• When asked to "type," place the mouse cursor at a desired location and click the left button in the far left corner of the information field. This will fix the cursor in the field. You can now type in the desired information.

Basic Information about Windows

If you are unfamiliar with Windows, you will need to be aware of what to do when you encounter a few kinds of menus and commands.

If you see an information field box place the mouse over the box and then click to locate the cursor within the box. Then type the necessary information. If you press [Enter] key at this point, Windows will assume you are ready to carry out the command. If you still want to activate or fill in more information in this menu window, do not press the [Enter] key. Use the mouse cursor or press the [Tab] key to move to the next field.

 If the information field box has an arrow (triangle) to the right, this is a combination box. There will be a list of possible responses if you press the arrow button:

• You can select a choice (or scroll down to find the right one) and save the time of typing it in.

 You may also be offered a series of check boxes to mark:

• Place the cursor over the box and click to change the setting (to activate or deactivate the option). An "x" or check mark will appear in the box to let you know that it is active (it will be empty if it is inactive).

 Some menu windows may have radio buttons instead of boxes:

• As with the boxes, you place the cursor over the circle and then click to activate or deactivate the choice. A filled in circle indicates that the choice is active (it will be empty if it is inactive).

 A few other conventions of Windows 98 that you should know:

• Windows can appear in three sizes: maximized (so that they fill the screen above the taskbar), normal (a size which can easily be adjusted to the dimensions that you desire) and minimized (so that they appear only on the taskbar).
• Closing a window is the same as exiting the program or file.
• Windows can be easily moved by clicking on their title bar and then dragging them to the desired location.
• Items on the taskbar can be made active by clicking on their icon on the taskbar.
