• Do not skip from page to page or from section to section looking for
information. All the information you need to set up a device is in a section
designated for that device.
• Do not attempt to set up more than one device at a time, even though they
look alike. Return to the beginning of each section for like devices.
• When you start a section, read each step slowly and carefully. Be sure that
you understand each step before completing it. It is unlikely that you will
encounter any problems; but if you do, contact your supervisor.
• The cables and cable connectors are durable, but can be damaged if thrown
or stepped on.
• Before you begin a setup procedure, look at the machine number on the
device. The machine number is always your starting point. Find the
machine number in this manual by looking at the Contents page or by
looking at the page edge tab.
