    K2 CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

    The KUSB cable cannot be directly plugged into the K2 without damaging components in the K2. A custom-built cable must be placed between any standard RS-232 connection and the K2 Aux I/O connector. This pertains to PC's with existing RS-232 ports, USB to RS-232 converters and our own KUSB cable. Review these instructions in regards to using the KUSB with the K2.
