Before You Begin your Installation
The product you have purchased is designed to be
easily installed into most IBM PC or compatible
systems. Many products have large, easy-to-read
legends to allow for the easy configuring of the
product. This installation manual contains detailed
instructions. Most included software has automatic installation programs
to place the software correctly onto your computer. However, as all
computers are configured differently, you may be required to perform
some basic DOS or Windows tasks. If you are not familiar with basic DOS
commands such as DIR, CD, or EDIT, you should check your DOS
manual, or seek assistance from you local computer dealer to install the
product.
How to get Technical Assistance
The dealer that you purchased this product or your
computer from is the first place you should go for
technical assistance. The dealer is usually the most
qualified source of help, and is most familiar with your system and how
this product should be installed. Many dealers have customer service and
technical support programs, with varying levels of support offered,
depending on your needs and computer knowledge. Please contact the
dealer first whenever a problem occurs.
If your Dealer Can’t Assist you
If you can’t get assistance from your dealer, the manufacturer provides
varying levels of technical assistance as summarized on the following
page.

SoundExpression
The Standard Free Technical Support number is for quick answers to specific inquiries
on product features and technical questions (call 407-241-8088; M-F, 8 am to 6:30 pm
EST). Direct access to technical support representatives is provided on a limited basis.
If you require immediate attention or in-depth help with the installation of the product,
please call our 900-priority support number for service. This number gives you
immediate access to senior-level technicians. The number is 900-555-4900. You will be
charged $2.00 per minute. The charges will appear on your next phone bill.
Damaged or Missing Items
We use many world-class quality assurance programs to ensure the product you
purchased is of the highest caliber. Sometimes, however, a component may be missing
from the box, or is damaged or corrupt in some way. If this happens, immediately
return the entire package to your place of purchase so you may exchange it for a new
one. Your dealer should be able to provide you with an exchange far more quickly than
by contacting us directly. If for some reason you are unable to return the product
directly to its place of purchase, refer to the “Servicing Your Product” and “Warranty”
sections in this manual for instructions.
