Introduction

Congratulations

the

most

part,

procedures

will

be

the

same

for

all

However,

in

some

procedures,

there

will

be

slight

variations.

These

differences

are

clearly

marked

throughout

ual.

Connecting the Cable

OmniKeyKeyboard User's Guide

1.

cable

plug

into

a

connector.

The

DIP

switches

are

in

a

bank

of

numbered

switches

located

under

the

Northgate

logo

plate

on

the

front

of

the

keyboard.

Use

your

fingernail

to

lift

up

the

switch

cover

from

the

left

side.

Use

these

switches

to

set

the

following

options:

•

or

some

other

thin

object to

change
