Installation
The decoder is installed between the computer and the keyboard. The keyboard cable is plugged into the decoder using the
connector labeled "KB". The decoder is then connected to the computer using the connector labeled "PC". In order to properly
install the decoder on your computer system, you must use the supplied adapter cable. This adapter cable is a short 6 inch
cable with a 5 pin DIN socket on one end, and a 6 pin Mini-DIN plug at the other end. Depending upon your computer system,
the adapter cable will be connected to either the keyboard side or the computer side of the decoder.
For example, If your computer system uses a keyboard with a 6 pin Mini-DIN connector, then the adapter cable is connected to
the cable on the decoder labeled "PC".
