Step 1 - Getting Started:

1) Connect the USB cable to the bottom of the WiFi Instrument and insert into the stand.

2) Charge the WiFi Instrument battery.

The instrument should be powered at all times through the USB cable and charger. The instruments can use the battery for power but it is best to only rely on the battery for backup, should the power be lost. If constant power cannot be supplied to the instrument, it is important that it is charged and operating properly prior to use. A completely discharged battery takes at least 24 hours to be fully charged.

1) Insert the CD in the drive.

2) Select Run from the Start menu.

3) Select the Browse command button and navigate to the software CD. Double-click the Setup.exe file.
