After verifying the functionality of the terminal program and the integrity of
the serial cable and COM port, proceed as follows:
the serial cable and COM port, proceed as follows:
(1) Connect 12V power to an RF400/RF410. This can be from an AC adapter
(Item # 14220 or Field Power Cable (Item # 14291) with 12V battery pack
attached (see step 12 below).
