Link the instrument to your Connect account
This section describes using your Connect account when you use the instrument for the first time.
The first time you use your Connect account on an instrument, you will be prompted to create a four-
digit numerical PIN. This PIN is to use when signing in to the instrument with your Connect account.
It will apply to all other instruments when you use your Connect account. This does not change the
password when signing in to your Connect account on a browser.
After the PIN is set up on the instrument, it must be changed with your Connect account on a browser
(see “Change the PIN for a Connect profile”
).
The first time the instrument is used with a Connect account, a region must be selected.
For a detailed description of the profile, see “If you link when you are not signed in to the instrument”
