Preparation For Programming
Step 1: Turn off your computer

keyboards to a host comp ter for programming. The keyboard
is programmed thro gh the RS232 port, regardless of whether
the ltimate interface d ring operation will be RS232 or
keyboard wedge.
Disconnect the power to yo r comp ter by npl gging it from
the power so rce. Remove the access cover to yo r com-
p ter. Mo nt the +12V DC power plate on an available
expansion slot in the back of yo r comp ter. Attach the 4-pin
male connector to the open female connector of the same type
of the switching power in yo r comp ter.
Review the installation diagram. Replace the comp ter's
access cover and power cord once the internal connections

avoid any accidental damage to the keyboard and yo r
comp ter.

tion to a 110V/220V adapter. The components for an internal
connection are provided. If yo are sing an external adapter,
be s re that it conforms with the specifications listed in
