This page contains links to .pdf files with instructions on getting set up to use the Flex Radio.
If you do not have Adobe Reader you can download free software for opening the files by going here: adobe.com/acrobat/pdf-reader.html The Adobe site will open in a new window.
We are in the process of creating and then trying out these documents. Talk to one of us (see below) before you use any of them. The links will become active as we get them ready to try.
These first documents will help you set up your computer to connect with the radio. You will need information from one of the SEARC Board members to complete the setup.

To help us communicate while using the FlexRadio we are asking that users install “BeeBEEP”, a chat that you will open once the VPN is open. Instructions here:

The next documents will help you learn how to use the radio. The SEARC Board member who helped you set up your connection will determine if you need to review this information before using the radio.
