Note that our update information files and TechInfo files are also part of our documentation. They may contain details about our products that have not yet made it into the manuals. So, make it a habit to read the update info texts whenever you install updates, and to read the TechInfos regularly. For that purpose, check the folders "UPDATES" and "SUPPORT" on the current CD-ROM, or the support section on our Web site
www.helios.de.
Do always read the product specific README files on your current CD-ROM. You can access these files e.g. during software installation (see figure
2 in chapter
4.4).
For full-scale information on all our products, you may check the "manuals" directory on the CD-ROM. It contains all manuals, data sheets, and brochures of our products in PDF format.
