Radio and television The equipment described in this manual generates, uses, and can radiate radio-
interference — frequency energy. IFit is not installed and used properly—that is, in strict
accordance with Apple’ instructions—it may cause interference with radio and
television reception.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC
rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no
guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation.
You can determine whether your computer is causing interference by turning
it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one
of the peripheral devices.
If your computer system does cause interference to radio or television
reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the
following measures:
@ Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
= Move the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio.
= Move the computer farther away from the television or radio.
= Plug the computer into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the
television or radio. (That is, make certain the computer and the television
or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
If necessary, consult your authorized Apple dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may find helpful
the following booklet, prepared by the Federal Communications
Commission: Interference Handbook (stock number 004-000-00345-4). This
booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington,
DC 20402.
AX Important: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by Apple
Computer, Inc., could void the FCC certification and negate your authority to
operate the product.
This product was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included the
use of shielded cables and connectors between system components. It is
important that you use shielded cables and connectors to reduce the possibility of
causing interference to radios, television sets, and other electronic devices. For
Apple peripheral devices, you can obtain the proper shielded cables from your
authorized Apple dealer. For non-Apple peripheral devices, contact the
manufacturer or dealer for assistance. A
Macintosh Classi
Special Options and
Technical Information
is Macintosh™ Classic® computer embodies the same
“user-friendly” philosophy as the original Macintosh, while
providing more memory, faster performance, and more
sophisticated system software—all in an affordable classic design.
Special Features
Adjusting screen brightness
The Macintosh Classic has two special features you should know
about:
= software for adjusting screen brightness
= a programmer's switch
You adjust the brightness of the Macintosh Classic screen in the
Brightness control panel.
1. Choose Control Panels from the Apple (#) menu.
2. Double-click the Brightness control panel icon.
The Brightness control panel appears.

Soreen Brightness
—==/p
3. Using the pointer, drag the bar on the Screen Brightness
control to the brightness setting you want.
As you drag the bar, the screen brightness changes accordingly.
Your choice remains in effect until you choose a different
brightness level.
Programmer's switch The programmer’ switch on the side of the computer is intended for
use by programmers. If you are not developing programs, do not
use the switch. Using it in the wrong way could cause you to lose
information.
The programmer's switch has two parts: the reset button and the
interrupt button. Pressing the reset button is just like turning the
power switch off and back on; consequently, any work you have not
saved will be lost.
Press the interrupt button only if you have debugging software
installed. If you accidentally press the interrupt button, you'll
see a rectangular box with a greater-than (>) sign on the screen.
Don't panic—you will not lose any data. Simply type G and
then press Return.

Using the
Macintosh Classic
overseas
Your Macintosh Classic is designed to operate at a nominal line
voltage ranging from 220 V to 240 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
In countries that employ a different standard (usually 100 V
to 120 V at 50 Hz), you must use a grounded, step-up
isolation transformer to convert 100-120 V to 220-240 V.
Transformers are available at most electronics stores.
A Warning: Do not use a transformer whose plug lacks a third prong
Keep this booklet
for use with a grounded outlet. Use of a nongrounded transformer
can result in electrical shock to you and damage to the computer or
other components. &
Save this booklet; it contains information not covered in the other
manuals that came with your computer.
