Installation Instructions
To install your new option(s), you need the key number that is provided with this
kit. This unique key number is valid only for the specific model number and
serial number of your instrument; it will not work on any other instrument. This
single key number enables all valid options for your instrument, those that were
factory installed and any others that you may have previously purchased. This
new key number supercedes any previous key numbers that you may already
have.
CAUTION. To avoid losing your options, do not misplace the paper label that is
included with this kit. This label contains the option installation key number and
should be installed on the notched-in portion of the rear panel of the instrument
for future reference.
As a backup, you may want to copy the key number and save it with the other
important papers for your instrument. If you ever need to reinstall the instrument
software, you will need to reenter this key number to reenable your options.
If you are upgrading to an option that includes software, refer to the Optional
Applications CD Installation manual that accompanies the application CD
before you pr oceed with the following instructions.
