The product you have purchased is designed to be
easily installed into most IBM PC or compatible
systems. Many products have large, easy-to-read
legends to allow for the easy configuring of the
product. This installation manual contains detailed
instructions. Most included software has automatic installation
programs to place the software correctly onto your computer.
However, as all computers are configured differently, you may be
required to perform some basic Windows tasks. If you are not familiar
with basic Windows commands, you should check your Windows
documentation, or seek assistance from you local computer dealer to
install the product.
