3. Remove any diskettes, then turn off the power switches on

the monitor and the main unit. Check that the monitor’s

power cable is securely connected to the monitor and to an

electrical outlet, and that the monitor cable is properly
connected to both the monitor and the main unit. Then
turn both power switches back on.

4. Be sure DIP switch 4 above the keyboard is turned off to

select the monitor as the display device. (See “Setting the
DIP Switches” in Chapter 1 for instructions.)

5. Turn off the power switches on both the main unit and

the monitor. Then check the electrical outlet for power.
Plug a portable lamp into the outlet you are using for the

monitor and turn it on to see if the outlet supplies power.

The Computer Does Not Respond

If the computer does not respond to something you enter

from the keyboard, try the following:

1. Wait a few seconds. Some operations take longer to

perform than others. For example, a spreadsheet program

takes longer to recalculate an entire spreadsheet than to
record one figure. Also, BASIC programs that have many

calculations to perform can take several minutes, or even

hours. Be aware of the task the computer is performing and

judge the time accordingly.

2. If the computer remains locked up, follow the steps in

Chapter 3 under ‘Resetting the Computer.”

Low Battery Problems

If the battery runs low, recharge it according to the

instructions in Chapter 3.

The battery inside the Equity LT should last as long as the

computer does. If, however, the battery seems to be running
low sooner than it should after being recharged, you can test it

by following the steps on the next page.
