such as Windows HyperTerminal or Symantec ProComm. Interacting with the Setup menu
is not platform specific; a terminal emulator on Unix/Linux, PalmOS, Pocket PC, etc. have
been tested and work. Configure the terminal emulation application for:

times to ensure that Setup Mode is fully exited. The unit returns to Run Mode when not in Setup
Mode.
