129 Software Installation (ELK-120/124 ONLY)
NOTE: The following ELK-129 Sound Recording Software installation is not required for the ELK-MM447 or ELK-MV480
modules. These modules are programmed through the Magic Module Programming Software. See previous page.
If you have an ELK-120 or ELK-124:
Please read through the manual before starting.
Insert the ELK-129 Installation disk into your 3 ½” floppy drive and run SETUP.EXE as follows:
Windows 3.1: In Program Manager, click on the File menu. Under the File menu, select Run. Type A:\SETUP (or the
correct disk drive letter for your 3 ½” floppy), then click on OK.
Windows 95-98-2000-XP: Click in the Start button in the left corner of the startus bar. Then click Run and type A:\SETUP
(or the correct disk drive letter for your 3 ½” floppy), then click OK.
The Setup program will guide you through the installation. Normally, you should choose the default directory suggested by
setup, but you may change the drive and / or directory, if needed. Once setup has finished, find the new program group
labeled Cool Edit. Click on the Cool Edit icon to start Cool Edit. Read & close the license agreement, then Press OK to
get past the registration screen.
To test Cool Edit, click on the File menu, then click Open and double-click on the ELK120 directory. You may need to
double-click on the COOL folder first, if you are not already in this directory (the product folder(s) is located beneath the
COOL folder). You should see the channel one and channel two default audio message files there (ch1.wav and ch2.wav).
Click on one of these files and then click OK. Click on the Play button to hear the file. If you do not hear the file playing
from your computer’s speakers, check the computer’s volume settings. If your computer came with a “mixer” program,
make sure all of the sliders or knobs are turned up and no outputs are muted. If you have determined that the volume
control is turned up and you still don’t hear the file when you click on Play, check to make sure your speaker cable is
plugged into the correct jack on the computer and on the speakers themselves. Also, make sure the speakers are turned
on (amplified speakers only), and that their volume is turned up. Make sure speakers are connected to a power adapter
(and that the adapter is plugged into the AC). You can close the Cool Edit program for now.
