Caution Always confirm that the Programming Console is in PROGRAM mode when
turning ON the PC with a Programming Console connected unless another
mode is desired for a specific purpose. If the Programming Console is in RUN
mode when PC power is turned ON, any program in Program Memory will be
executed, possibly causing a PC-controlled system to begin operation.
The following sequence of operations must be performed before beginning ini-
tial program input.
