What me, read a manual?

Before you begin, please make sure you read the Safety Instructions on page 2 and 

Getting Started on page 4. 

Your new TAPCO

®

 S•5 monitors are designed to set up quickly and operate easily. 

We know it’s often seen as a sign of weakness to read a manual, along with asking for 
directions when lost, but we hope you will read the rest of the manual, at least while 
nobody is looking. 

It is important to keep your receipt in a safe place, and not a bad idea to write your 

product information here for future reference (i.e., insurance claims, tech support, return 
authorization, etc.).
