Epson Y16499100301 User Manual

The Equity LT comes with the MS-DOS operating system

and the GW-BASIC programming language. If you have used
MS-DOS before on another computer, you’ll find that it works
the same on the Equity LT. The main commands are explained

in this manual and full information, including descriptions of
the special utility programs added by Epson, is in your

MS-DOS manual.

You can use almost all application programs designed for

the IBM PC, PC XT and PC AT on your Equity LT.

This user’s guide explains how to set up and care for your

Equity LT. It also describes how to use your computer and run

diagnostics checks. You do not need to read everything in this
book; some sections may describe a particular option you do

not have. In fact, if you are familiar with computers, you may
need to read only Chapters 1 and 3, and Chapter 2 if you
have the hard disk model.

Complete the 10 steps in Chapter 1 to set up your

computer and prepare it for use.

If you have the hard disk model, you must follow the

instructions in Chapter 2 to prepare the hard disk before you
try to use it. If you have the dual diskette drive model, skip
Chapter 2.

Chapter 3 describes general operating procedures and

explains how to use and care for your disks and disk drives.

Chapter 4 provides basic instructions for using MS-DOS

with the Equity LT.

If you need to connect a color monitor or replace the

backlit screen element, see Appendix A.

If you encounter any problems while using your Equity LT,

check the troubleshooting guidelines in Appendix B.
