Unauthorized manipulation of these files may void your software service agreements. Uploading from Route Manager VRT (RM VRT) will overwrite Route/Account information on the Hand Held. It is the User’s responsibility to download any data prior to uploading. RF EXPOSURE The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 24 cm from all persons, and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. TI VRT CE Operation TI VRT for CE is supported on two different hardware platforms: the DAP 5240 and the Radix FW-500. While most operations are identical some are platform specific. Features for the DAP 5240 are marked D and those for Radix are marked R. The screen shots shown in various illustrations may vary slightly from your Handheld’s display. Conventions All user interactions are via the Handheld’s keyboard. TI VRT CE responds to the keystrokes independent of platform. All letters are assumed to be upper case. Function keys F1 – F4 are also used.
