CHAPTER 2
Getting Started
The PK-411UD software provides a
convenient and powerful tool which can be
used to program and manipulate the
411UD/411UDAC programming data from
a PC or laptop. This user friendly utility
has been designed to provide many fea-
tures which will enhance the communica-
tor's programmability. In order to take full
advantage of the available features, it is
important to become familiar with the
PK-411UD functions and the environment
in which the program was designed to
operate. This chapter provides information
on the minimum system requirements for
the computer in which the PK-411UD will
be installed.
Some computer literacy and a rudimentary
understanding of DOS and Windows
® are
necessary to successfully use this utility.
Even if exposure to computers is limited,
the information in this chapter along with
DOS and Windows
® reference material
should provide sufficient knowledge to use
the PK-411UD program. Take the time to
read and understand the installation as
presented in this chapter.
An On-line Help feature has been
incorporated into the software. For
information about a window option, use
the mouse arrow to point to the window
option button or text block. Click and hold
the mouse button, and move the arrow off
the selected window button or block.
Release the mouse button and then press
the F1 keyboard key to display the Help
window for the selected option.
The keyboard Escape (Esc) key can be
used to recall the last saved item in a
program field. This can be particularly
useful if, while typing an entry into a
program field, the programmer decides to
delete the new entry before saving it.
Pressing the Escape (Esc) key will cause
the last saved entry to be displayed in the
program field in place of the recently typed
but not saved entry.
