  • Page 2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE—WARNING This product is an FCC Class-A apparatus. In a residential environment, it may cause radioelectrical disturbances. In addition, this programming board is not contained in an outer casing; consequently, it cannot be immune against electrostatic discharges (ESD). It should therefore be handled only in static safe working areas.
