all times while programming devices.

Before beginning, ensure that the power is turned off at both the programmer

empty parallel port on your computer may be used.

2. Install the power supply by inserting the small DIN jack of the power supply

into the power socket on the back of the programmer. This jack is keyed
and cannot be inserted incorrectly.

3. Connect the power cord between the power supply box and a 100–250

Volt, 50–60 Hz AC outlet.

WARNING:  A device may be damaged if it is in a TOP socket dur-

ing power up. Remove all devices before turning on 
the power switch.
