  1. If the Allegro is on, press the power button to turn Off the device.

  2. If a GPS antenna cable is connected to the Allegro, disconnect the cable.

  3. Use a coin or flathead screwdriver to loosen two screws securing the card slot door on the back of the Allegro. Turn screws counter-clockwise ΒΌ of a turn to release the door.

  4. Open the card slot door and set the switch in one of the following positions. When you finish, close and fasten the door.

    • Chainer: if using a wire counter, select Chainer.
