AF88/AF89 OPERATION

Plug the cord into the FC88 as shown in Figure 1. Plug the other end of the cord into P1 of the main

the FlexMASSter the adapter circuit board may be discarded. The FC88 is ready for use.

be used on an AF88 or AF89 instrument the FC88 will need to be reprogrammed. The

F1 keys.

2. While holding down all three keys depressed in Step 1, plug the FC88 cable into the energized
AF88/89.
