trol Panel as an option (it is selected by default). De-select any Control Panels
you do not need.
2. If prompted, restart the computer after installation is complete.
3. Insert the batteries into the SLII.
4. Connect the SLII to the computer using a USB cable for 1 and 2 channel instru-
ments or pair with Bluetooth (pairing code 1234) for 4 channel instruments.

is connected to the computer. The Windows operating system will display mes-
sages indicating when the installation is complete.

shortcut icon in the DataView folder placed on the desktop during the installation.

screen prompts you to select the connection type (USB or Bluetooth). Choose
the connection type and click Next.
If the instrument is identified, click Finish. The SLII is now communicating with
