A display similar to this one should be seen on the screen (the message
may vary from machine to machine). Sometimes it takes a second or two to
activate. If you don't get the display on your screen, turn the computer
off, wait a few seconds, and turn it on again.

PLUGGING IN THE PROGRAMMING CARTRIDGE THE FIRST TIME
1. Pick up the programming cartridge. If an EPROM is installed in the socket
on top of the cartridge, remove it.
It will lift out easily after you
have pulled up on the socket release handle. Set it on conductive foam.
2. Make sure the BLOCK select DIP switch is set for BLOCK 5 (the left-most
switch is depressed at the top). Use the switch numbers embossed on the
case, not the ones on the switches themselves. Use a dull pointed object
to set BLOCK 5 and reset the other 3 blocks. Avoid any other setting. If
more than one of the rockers 1s set on at one time, the computer will not
operate properly.
3. Set the four toggle switches at the top of the cartrige so that they are
flipped towards you (toggle handles perpendicular to the top of the case).
The settings are:
SOCKET * ON
BURN/PR06 * PROG
MIMIC/PROG = PROG
