IMPORTANT NOTES TO SOFTWARE AND SOFTWARE UPDATES:
This product contains an EPROM which stores the software that determines its
characteristics and functions.
The current software version may not contain all the functions mentioned in this manual.
Such missing functions can be “installed” and possible software glitches corrected later by
replacing the EPROM. The ZIMO website at
www.zimo.at
lists current and new software ver-
sions.
New EPROM’s can be ordered from ZIMO. The software itself is free but a small fee applies
for the new hardware (EPROM) and shipping & handling.
