INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Locate the warranty card and fill it
out. If you bought your Meter
Bridge at the same time you pur-
chased an 8•Bus series console, you
don't need to answer all the ques-
tions on the card that came with the
Meter Bridge. Just fill in the model
number of the Meter Bridge, serial
number, purchase date and dealer,
and your name and address.
2.
Make sure that your 8•Bus Console
power supply is turned off.
3.
Remove the Meter Bridge from its
plastic bag. Save the bag. It's handy
for wrapping boa constrictors or
moray eels before popping them in
your freezer.
Also, save the box.
