Java Plug In
If your computer has Windows XP installed, it is very likely that Java is not
installed. Microsoft did not include it in Windows XP, but it should be present in all
previous versions of Windows (2000, ME, 98). You can find the Java plug-in for your web
browser at:

This should automatically download Java to the computer. As you might expect, you will
need to be connected to the internet in order to download and install this package.
Once that is downloaded, the Java application that shows the menu of TDS-600
programming menu options on the left side of the screen should run with no problems.
Adobe Acrobat Reader
This manual is offered in a PDF or Word format. If you have the PDF version then to best
utilize the manual it is suggested you open it and use the bookmark feature in Adobe
Acrobat to easily navigate. You can simply select a topic from the menu on the left and
go directly to the text in the document. It is highly recommended that you use the manual
while programming at the same time via Internet Explorer. This way you can simply toggle
between system programming and the portion of this manual simply and interchangeably.
Below is an example of using the document from Acrobat Reader with bookmarks. Note
that by clicking on Voice Messaging on the left, the text within the document automatically
opens up.
