Connect Adapter Box (dongle) to PC
Connect the dongle to the PC using a 9 Pin EIA-232 straight-through cable maximum length of
3 m (10 ft.). Connect the adapter to the appropriate COM port on the PC on which the
Transmitter Programmer software has been installed. The DB-style connectors can only be
plugged in, in one orientation. Gentle pressure is all that is required. If excessive force is needed,
the connector and plug may not be properly aligned and continued force may damage or break
the connector pins.

PPD Battery Removal
The PPD programming interface connector is located in the battery compartment. Remove the
battery cover (Figure 4.3). Only remove the battery cover at a workstation equipped with
electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection since static sensitive components are exposed. The
battery cover is fastened with security screws requiring a Torx security driver bit.
Remove the battery from the battery compartment by gently tapping the transmitter case against
the palm of the hand while the battery cover is removed. The battery will fall into your hand,
retained by the flying leads of the battery clip. Carefully unsnap the battery clip and set the
battery aside.
