You can expand your WP-2's capabilities in many ways. This section describes
some of the more popular accessories and upgrades.

ADDING OPTIONS

In most instances, adding an option is as easy as connecting a few cables.
Refer to the instructions that come with the option for additional
installation information.

CONNECTING THE WP-2 TO AN AC POWER SOURCE

By connecting the WP-2 Power Adapter (260-3804, optional/extra), the WP-2
can be operated when the Adapter is plugged into a 120VAC wall outlet.

Before connecting the Adapter to the WP-2, be sure to turn the WP-2
and all peripheral OFF.

PRINTER

To print the files you create, simply connect the printer cable to the
built-in PRINTER (parallel) port located on the back panel.

Tandy has a full line of printers, from fast and economical dot-matrix
printers to typeset-quality laser printers.

CASSETTE RECORDER

Increase your storage capability by making copies of your files on cassette
tape. The built-in CASSETTE recorder port is located on the back panel. We
recommend Radio Shack's CCR-81 cassette recorder (260-1208) which comes with
the required cable (260-1207).

DISK DRIVE

Expand you file storage even more by adding the Tandy Portable Disk Drive 2
(260-3814) and saving your files on diskettes. The drive connects to the
RS-232C (serial) port on the rear panel.

MODEM

Add a modem to your WP-2, and send files to or receive files from other
wordprocessors or computers over phone lines.

To connect a modem, us an RS-232 cable with a female nine-pin connector
(26-269) and connect it to the WP-2's RS-232C serial port.

Talk to your Radio Shack sales representative about our line of modems. You
can even use a battery-operated modem so that you can carry it everywhere with
your WP-2.

RAM MEMORY CARD

You can expand the WP-2's memory capability by inserting a memory card with
32K of memory (260-3931) into the EXPANSION CARD slot on the side of the unit.
You can use it like a diskette or cassette tape to store files. Then, you can
remove the card and store it in a safe place.

ADDING INTERNAL MEMORY

You can expand the random access memory by adding a 32K RAM chip (260-3932),
for a total of 54K or internal text memory. When installing the chip, position
it so that the end without the notch is at the end of the socket, as shown in
the illustration below. (There should be four unused position in the socket.)
