eontrol base, and align the ridges on top of the eom-
puter with the ridges on top of the C/Port APR.
When properly aligned, you should feel the guide
rails on the doeking eontrol base eonneet with the
grooves on the bottom of the eomputer.
Next, put your thumbs along the front edge of the
eomputer and your fingers in the doeking eontrol
base indents. Then push the eomputer toward the
