LS PRO OWNER'S HANDBOOK 1/1
Introducing
Chapter 1
1 INTRODUCING
This chapter gives you a quick tour of your Apricot LS Pro
computer. The initial summary of features is intended mostly
for people who know a bit about computers and want to get
an idea of what this one can do. But the unpacking instructions
and pictorial guide will be helpful to everyone.
Don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with some of the computer
terminology used in this chapter. It’s provided simply as a useful
“shorthand” for more experienced readers. Be assured, you
don’t need to understand any jargon to use the Apricot LS
Pro safely and efficiently. (On the other hand, it can’t hurt to
learn; introductory books about computers can be found in
your local bookshop or library.)
Warning
Read the separate Power Connection Guide before using the
computer for the first time.
