4INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION
Installation can be carried out by the purchaser and does not require special skills. The machine is
supplied ready for use – however, some checks and preparation are necessary before use
.
4.1 PREPARATION FOR USE - INITIAL OPERATIONS
- power the machine by means of the supply socket (E) ;
- check that the serial number stamped on the device is the same as the one shown on the display; enter
the password (to enable use
) (see chap. 6.2 "PASSWORD", page 8);

suffered any damage.
Should faulty operation arise that is not connected with the above-mentioned conditions, please contact After-
Sales Service.
4.3 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
To ensure that the best use is made of the machine and that the keys with transponders produced work
properly, it is important to bear in mind operating conditions and temperature.
Given the characteristics of the transponders on the keys, in order to memorize them, THE
TEMPERATURE MUST BE ABOVE 5° C.
Ideal working conditions for the machine are therefore :
- temperature: from 5° to 40° C .
4.4 SOFTWARE UPDATING
The machine software can be updated by connection to a personal computer .
