Hooking It Up
When you unpack your ATARI 130XE, make sure you have the
following items:
• ATARI 130XE Computer
• AC Power Supply
•
TV Switch Bo x
• TV Video Cable

Setting up your ATARI Computer system is easy. All you need is a
television set

an ordinary black-and-white or color television, or you can buy a computer

To connect the computer to a monitor, follow the installation
instructions that come with the monitor. You will need a connecting
cable (usually supplied with the monitor) to attach the monitor to the
ATARI 130XE Monitor jack on the back of your computer.
If you are going to use a television as a display screen, locate the TV
Switch Bo x and the TV Video Cahle. The Switch Bo x attaches directly to
your television, but it
will not interfere with normal television reception.
With the
sliding switch in the COMPUTER position, your television will
display signals
from your ATARI 130X E. In the TV position, signals
come from your television antenna.

connection that you have. There are two types of connections: a
round,
75-0HM connection and a flat, 300- 0HM twin-lead connection.
