WARNING

an incorrect voltage, such as the receiver battery, will permanently damage the

The USB connector attaches to the pen tablet on the outside of the case.
As you collect data, be careful not to bump the USB connector against
your surroundings. Dropping or bumping the system may cause the
measurement system to fail.
USB connectors other than Inside Out Network's EdgePort/4 are not
guaranteed to work with the Agilent system and may, in fact, cause
problems with the software.
The USB serial converter has an optional +5V input which is NOT
required for use. The USB connection provides sufficient power to the
converter to support four serial devices.
If you ordered 86154A, option 36, the 4-port USB serial converter, but did
NOT order your pen tablet from Agilent Technologies, you need to first
install the device drivers from the floppy disk that came with the option,
using the floppy drive.
