French, Italian, German or Spanish Language Configuration

The factory default PowerView language is English. It can be configured to display French, Italian, German or Spanish text by replacing an EPROM (erasable, programmable read only memory) chip. A set of replacement EPROM chips are in- cluded with the PowerView. Follow these steps to replace the language EPROM:

Note: The internal circuitry of the PowerView, and the EPROM are sensitive to static electricity. Use all necessary precautions to eliminate static electricity from yourself and all tools before replacing the chip. Do not remove the chip from the protective case until you are ready to install it in the PowerView.

nBefore disassembling the PowerView, touch a grounded metal object to thoroughly ground all static charge.

nThe PowerView cable must be disconnected from the PowerView before proceeding.

1.Working on a flat table or other suitable work surface, re- move the four Phillips screws at the rear of the PowerView. Separate the back half from the PowerView.

2.Identify the 28-pin language EPROM chip inside the PowerView. See figure 6-4. The EPROM chip is adjacent to a larger 40-pin chip, and is labeled with the name of the lan- guage. Note the semicircular notch at one end of the EPROM. The replacement EPROM must be installed so that the semi- circular notch is in the same orientation.

3.To remove the EPROM, insert a small flathead screwdriver between the EPROM and the socket. Gently twist the blade to lift the EPROM from the socket. To avoid bent pins, pro- ceed with caution and patience. Gradually loosen the chip, one side at a time, until it is free from the socket.

4.Position the replacement EPROM on the socket with the semicircular notch in the same position as the original. Important: Carefully check that all pins are properly aligned with the socket.

5.Apply even pressure with fingers to the top of the EPROM until it is fully seated in the socket.

6.Replace the rear cover and re-install the four Phillips screws.
