Getting to Know the Archer
Note to user: Always use a stylus when using the archer; do not use a pen or pencil. If you lose
or break the stylus let us know and we will mail you a new one. Instead of using the stylus you
can then use the buttons at the bottom of the archer to input data until a new stylus comes in.
Also do not open the archer up for any reason, if there is something wrong with the hardware
send it back to use and we will mail you a replacement.
Included in this box:
1 Archer Unit with stylus (pen thing)
1 Power charger indoor
1 Power charger car
1 Cord to sync archer unit with the computer (chances are you will never have to use this)
