NUMBER: S-0029C PAGE: 6 of 6 Q. What type of modem can be used with the Apex? A. IBM PC/XT compatible internal modems can be used as well as external modems which connect to a serial interface port. A serial interface board or multifunction option board must be installed to use an external modem. Epson manufactures both types of modems which are available from Epson computer dealers. The Epson Link 1200 external 1200 baud modem (Epson P/N C202A-A) and the Epson Link 1200-PC internal modem (Epson P/N C203A-A). Q. My computer would not work when I set the dip switches as described in the User's Guide but it worked when I set them in the opposite setting. Why? A. An error was made in the original Apex User's Guide, Appendix A, page A-2, for setting the dip switches. The book indicates that the switches are OFF when set to the right. The switches are actually ON when set to the right. The Table (A-l) on page A-3 is correct. An errata sheet has been placed in the manuals since this error was discovered. Q: I can't find some of the programs referred to in the MS-DOS 3.2 manual on the MS-DOS diskette. Where are they? A. The GW-BASIC diskette contains many of the utility programs which are referred to in the MS-DOS manual. Q. Will my Apex work in foreign countries? A. The Apex computer can be used in both the United States and internationally simply by selecting the appropriate input voltage on the voltage selection switch located on the rear of the unit. The Apex will operate on either 115VAC or 230VAC at 50/60 Hz power. One thing to be aware of, if taking an Apex overseas, is that the voltage on the power outlet on the rear of the computer is the same as the input voltage of the computer. If you have a monitor or other device plugged into this outlet make sure it is capable of operating on the same voltage and frequency that the computer is connected to. Most monitors and printers are not set up to operate on dual voltages and will be damaged if plugged into the wrong AC voltage. This applies to the Apex monitors and printers as well.

Q. What type of modem can be used with the Apex?
A.
IBM
PC/XT compatible
internal modems
can be
used as well as
external
modems
which connect
to a
serial
interface port.
A serial interface board or
multifunction option board must be
installed to use an external modem.
Epson
manufactures both
types of modems which are available from Epson computer dealers.
The Epson Link 1200 external 1200 baud modem (Epson P/N C202A-A)
and the Epson Link 1200-PC internal modem (Epson P/N C203A-A).
Q. My computer would not work when
I
set the dip switches as
described in the User's Guide but it worked when
I
set them in
the opposite setting.
Why?
A.
An error was made in the original Apex User's Guide, Appendix A,
page A-2, for setting the dip switches. The book indicates that
the switches are
OFF
when set to the right.
The switches are
actually ON when set to the right.
The Table (A-l) on page A-3
is correct.
An errata sheet has been placed in the manuals
since this error was discovered.
Q:
I
can't find some of the programs referred to in the MS-DOS
3.2 manual on the MS-DOS diskette. Where are they?
A.
The GW-BASIC diskette contains many of the utility programs
which are referred to in the MS-DOS manual.
Q. Will my Apex work in foreign countries?
A.
The Apex
computer can
be used
in both the United States and
internationally simply by selecting the appropriate input
voltage on the voltage selection
switch located on the rear of
the unit.
The Apex will operate on either 115VAC or 230VAC at
50/60
Hz power.
One thing to be aware of,
if taking an Apex overseas,
is that
the voltage on the power outlet on the rear of the computer is
the same as the
input voltage of
the computer.
If you
have a
monitor or other device
plugged into this
outlet make sure it
is capable
of operating on the same voltage and frequency that
the computer is
connected to.
Most monitors and printers are
not set up
to operate on dual voltages
and will be damaged if
plugged into the wrong AC voltage. This applies to the Apex
monitors and printers as well.
