Link 

field under each section, enter a path, to a Web page or document of your choice. If you wish the 

hyperlink to be a Web site, be sure to enter the proper address: For example, http://www.dmp.com. If you 

want the hyperlink to open a document, be sure the software application needed to open the document is on 

the computer hard drive that is accessing this ePAD. Also, be sure to enter the proper path to the document: 

For example, D:\My Documents\map.bmp.

Note:

 If the link is programmed to open a document on the user hard drive, that document cannot be opened 

from a different computer.

link must be entered to access the proper User’s Guide. Enter one of the links below to open the desired DMP
