Hardware documents, in PDF format, can be obtained from the following locations:
Directly from the installation CD (select “Manuals” from the CD’s splash screen)
From the online Tech Support section
From the Programs group on your CD, providing that you installed your software from a CD
Note that ZonicBook/618E, WaveBook/516 Series, and IOtech 600 Series devices are configured entirely
via software.
