Follow these steps to connect the keyboard and mouse:
1.With the keyboard facing you, plug the mouse cable into the port on the
right side of the keyboard.
The plug and the port are both marked with an Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) icon.
Align the icons before you insert the plug. (The positions of the ADB port
and ADB icon on your keyboard may be different from those pictured.)
If you prefer to use the mouse with your left hand, plug the mouse cable into
the port on the left side of the keyboard.
2.Plug one end of the keyboard cable -- both ends are the same -- into
the other port on the keyboard.
If you plugged the mouse cable in on the right, for example, plug the
keyboard cable in on the left.
3.Plug the other end of the keyboard cable into the ADB port on the back of
the computer.
This port is also marked with the ADB icon.
Connecting the Microphone or Phono-plug Adapter
The Macintosh LC comes with a microphone and a phono-plug adapter, both of
which you can use to record sounds on your computer. If you want to record
sounds from another audio source (lecture notes on a cassette tape, for
example), use the phono-plug adapter instead of the microphone.
To connect the microphone, follow these steps:
1.Plug the microphone into the sound input port on the back panel of your
computer.
By the way: If you prefer, you can use any microphone with a plug that
fits the sound input port. You aren't restricted to using the microphone that
comes with the Macintosh LC.
2.Decide where you want to place the microphone.
The microphone that comes with your computer is highly sensitive. Once you've
turned it on (which you do when you're using a sound-recording program), it
can pick up sounds within a range of several feet. You may want to attach the
microphone to the side of the monitor or the top of the keyboard or simply
place it on your desk.
3.To attach the microphone to your computer, peel the paper backing off the
microphone holder and press the adhesive side of the holder against a clean,
flat surface.
If you prefer, you can use the other holder that comes packaged in the
microphone box to clip the microphone to your shirt.
4.Place the microphone in the holder.
The microphone is ready to use. There is no on/off switch on the microphone.
Instead, the microphone is controlled by the application programs you use to
