Powering-Up the PDU

  1. Install the CD-ROM.
  2. Press the PDU power on switch (Fig 1-2). An audible tone will be hears and the green PDU power on indicator (Fig 1-6) will illuminate. The touch sensitive screen will also be activated. If this does not happen, see the problem solving section.
  3. Adjust the contrast control (Fig 1-4).
  4. When the PDU is switched on, it will perform an automatic self-check to test the internal components. On successful completion of the self-check, a PDU symbol will appear with a 'tick' next to it (Fig 10). The PDU will then display the language selection screen (Fig 11).
  5. Select the required language and confirm the selection (Fig 11).

    Note: PDU text is available in English, French, Italian, German and Japanese.

  6. The PDU will then load its software from the CD-ROM and display the 'main menu' (Fig 12).
  7. New users may select 'Training' and press the 'tick' icon to enter the on-screen PDU training programme.
