(Windows 95, 98) Step Action
1 Remove the PF3000 Pro console from the combine, place it near
your computer, connect the provided 12 volt DC power supply.
2 With the monitor off, connect one end of the PC interface cable
(with two, nine-pin connectors) provided with the monitor to port 1
on the bottom of the monitor.
IMPORTANT: The PF3000 Pro has voltages on the nine-pin
serial port that should not be connected to your computer.
Therefore, use only the special PC interface cable (only connects
pins 2, 3, and 5) supplied by Ag Leader Technology. Do not use a
standard cable.

all in use, you must disconnect another device from one of the ports.
The COM port will have either 9 or 25 pins. If it is a nine-pin port,
connect the cable from the monitor directly to the port. If it is a 25-
pin port, use the adapter provided with the cable to connect to the
computer.
