Warning: 844A programmer hasn’t protection devices, which 
protect the content of programmed device against critical 
situations, for example power failures and PC failure 
(interrupted cable...). Moreover, a device is usually destroyed 
in the programming mode due to forced interruption of the 
control program run (Reset or switching the computer off) due 
to removing the connecting cable, or unplugging the 
programmed device from the ZIF socket. Incorrectly placed 
device in the ZIF socket can cause its damage or destruction.
