WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

POWER CORD POLARIZATION:

This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type alternating current line plug. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the three-wire ground type plug.

NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER:

This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electric Code (U.S.A.).

MAC: Macintosh Environment

Setting your computer for optimum picture output in the Macintosh operating system environment

MACINTOSH Environment

The following is a step-by-step procedure for setting your computer picture output to optimum display quality.

1.Plug in your computer to the PCZTV (Presentation TV). Turn on the PCZTV and then the COMPUTER.

2.Open your CONTROL PANEL by choosing under the APPLE icon or by clicking on your HARD DRIVE icon. If you choose the HARD DRIVE icon, you’ll have to open your CONTROL PANEL through the SYSTEMS FOLDER.

3.Once you have located the CONTROL PANEL, click on VIEWS. This is where you will make changes for Presentation display.

4.Change the FONT to one that is appears well on a television. We would suggest that you use TIMES BOLD. Now, change the FONT SIZE to 18 or better.

Each time that you use the PCZTV with your computer, you will simply change the FONT and SIZE through the CONTROL PANEL and VIEW. You have now changed the appearance of all your folders but NOT your applications.

VIEWING FOR PRESENTATION Vs. PRIVATE

1.When viewing an application, such as EXCEL or WORD, you will have to change the appearance of each application.

2.Once the application has been opened, just change the view from 100 percent to a selection over 150 percent. This will not permanently effect your document. Once you have completed your presentation, simply reduce the size back down to 100 percent viewing ratio.

3.To enlarge the ICONS of the application, click on VIEW and then select TOOLBARS. Slide down and highlight CUSTOMIZE with your mouse, then click.

4.A file folder will now “pop-up”. Now selection OPTIONS and then click on LARGE ICONS. This will only enlarge the ICONS on your menu palette. Due to a less flexible platform, you will not be able to effect the fonts/size on the Menu Bar.

Our PCZTV is a high quality, low cost alternative to a true SVGA monitor.
