Apple PowerBook (Duo 270C) - Manual (Page 15)

How to Use This Book
This book has several parts.
n
Chapter 1 explains how to set up your computer and learn
how to use it.
n
Chapters 2–4 are a tutorial designed for people who have not
used a Macintosh computer before. If you are new to the
Macintosh, you should read this section of the book before
you start your own work.
n
Chapters 5–14 contain reference information that will help
you as you become more proficient with your computer.
You can turn to these chapters for information about a
particular topic.
Most of the equipment designed specifically for use with your
PowerBook Duo—the Duo Dock, the Duo Floppy Adapter,
the Duo MiniDock, the external floppy disk drive, the external
battery recharger—is documented in these reference chapters.
n
At the back of the book you’ll find a troubleshooting section
and an index.
Certain kinds of information are not included in this book.
n
Information about modems. If your computer has a built-in
modem, or if you purchase one later, you receive a separate
modem manual with instructions for its use.
n
Information about application programs. Your best source of
information about a particular program is the set of books and
disks that came with that program.
n
Technical specifications for your PowerBook Duo model.
These are on a separate sheet in the box with your computer.
(The illustrations contained in this book are of several PowerBook
Duo models, so the pictures may not exactly match your
PowerBook.)
