1. Installation Requirements
1.1 Pre-installation
1.1.1 Set up charging trays. These charging trays are similar to the ones
we currently use. However, the supplied power adapter is lower in
voltage and has a different plug.
1.1.2 Connect the power adapter to the charging tray.
1.1.3 Place all Playmakers into the charging tray. This step is crucial as it
brings the Playmakers out of shipping mode and into standard
operating mode. You should hear a beep and a light should come
on to indicate proper insertion.
1.1.4 If the above procedure is ignored, the Playmaker will not power on,
i.e., remains in ship mode.

(Follow current SOP for PC installation)
