Note:

 Most computers are configured with at least one serial port (identified as COM 1), 

and some have a second serial port, usually identified as (COM 2).  Check your computer 

manual to locate and identify a serial port connector.  Even if you have a physical COM 
port you need to make sure it is working properly before you proceed.  Consult your com-

puter manual.  If your computer serial port is configured for 25 pin you will need to obtain 

an adapter from your computer store.  If your computer does not have an available serial 
port and you're planning on using

 Windows HYPER Terminal

 as illustrated below, you will 

need to buy and install an adapter card with a serial port. 

The SWBVA-200s will interface with any basic (ANSI) terminal emulation software. Most 
operating systems contain a program that will 
do this. For other operating systems consult the 
Manual for that system.

Using Auto Meter's optional adapter cord AC-12 insert the stereo plug into 
the jack on the SWBVA-200s (see page 6) and then plug the serial adapter 
into a free serial port on the rear of your computer.
