1 Information available as
hardcopy, direct help and on CD
Information on setup, operation and configuration
can be obtained in these quick-start instructions,
as direct help and as operating instructions. Please
observe the general user information and the
license agreements.
The information is split up based on the following
criteria:
• The quick-start instructions essentially describe
connection of the device and software installa-
tion.
• The direct help is a component of the software.
It provides you with information on operation
where you need it. It is called up via F1.
• The operating instructions describe operation
and configuration. They are contained in a PDF
file on the accompanying CD (CD-ROM/Manu-
als). You can read the desired content on the
screen or print it out here.
By supplying only the most essential information as
a printout, we are reducing the unnecessary use of
paper and thus making our contribution towards
environmental protection.
