Important considerations
Please review and keep in mind the following considerations
whenever loading or updating HCRF charts.
CAUTION!
It is recommended that you write-protect your
Permit Disk by sliding the tab in the corner of the
floppy so that you can see through the hole created
after sliding the tab. It is a good idea to make a

media together, including all CDs and floppy
diskettes, in a safe and clean environment (you
may want to write down and store your user permit
