Version 1.2 click here Holmatro's Rescuer's Guide to Vehicle Safety Systems V1.1 Contents: Minimum System Requirements: To address the wide variety of Adobe Acrobat Reader software versions spread across our user base, and address Acrobat Reader compatibility issues with our Rescuer's Guide product, Holmatro, Inc. and Mitchell International have released a Rescuer's Guide patch that will allow our program to function independently from the Adobe Acrobat Reader software. This patch requires that the Rescuer's Guide already be installed. It doesn't matter if you are running it from the CD or from your hard drive.
Note: For hard drive installations, it may help if you save your registration code to a text file, so you can copy and past it when prompted to enter your code. Before installing, deactivate any virus protection software that may be installed on your computer and close any open applications. 1. Insert the Rescuer’s Guide to Vehicle Safety Systems CD into the appropriate drive. 2. From the Start menu, click Run. Type d:\setup.exe and click OK (where “d:\” is the drive where the CD-ROM is located). 3. The Rescuer’s Guide CD requires that Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 be installed on your workstation.
IMPORTANT DECISION POINT
4. Continue by following the on-screen instructions, accepting the default options. If you change the installation directory, you will need to install the patch into the same directory. When prompted to install the data to your local or network drive, click YES to put the data on your hard drive, or click no to run the program from the CD. The patch will work with either option. 5. To place a shortcut icon on your desktop, click Yes.
6. After the Rescuer's Guide program is installed onto your hard drive, extract and run the patch.exe. 7. Start the Rescuer’s Guide application from your desktop icon, or from the Start menu... All Programs... Holmatro Inc, program group. 8. After reading the License Agreement, click Accept to accept it. Note that the terms are for a single user license, unless you've purchased a multi-user license. If you do not agree to the terms specified, do not click accept and uninstall the software from your control panel. IMPORTANT DECISION POINT 9. Entering Your Registration Number
Enter you code, click Next and you will be taken to the home screen of the program. Note: If you've already installed your Rescuer's Guide software using the code from the CD sleeve, and are now trying to reinstall to run from your hard drive, the installation should overwrite the previous registry settings, however you may find it necessary to completely uninstall the Rescuer's Guide application and begin a clean installation. Welcome to the Holmatro® Rescuer’s Guide to Vehicle Safety Systems CD. This section contains product information and tips that will help enhance your experience with this program.
Product Registration: The serial number included on the CD sleeve will only allow you to run the program from the CD and the CD must remain present in a local CD-Rom drive. Removing the CD during operation will result in an error. If you do not have a local CD drive, need to install the software across a network, or are interested in obtaining additional licenses to use the software on additional computers, please contact Holmatro, Inc. at 800-654-0203. (Note: please register your software before contacting us, as this step is necessary for the installable option and will help expedite the process.) Navigation Tips: • The buttons in the menu bar can be activated with a single left click. A double click will be counted as two single clicks and may advance you to an unexpected location.
• While viewing details about a specific manufacturer’s vehicle,

• The Vin Decoder is an added feature that we were able to include
on the same disk as the electronic version of the Rescuer’s Guide. After
entering a complete vehicle identification number, the button will be activated,
allowing you to click on it to obtain the make, model and year of the vehicle.
As this is a bonus program that functions independent from the electronic
version of
the Holmatro® Rescuer’s Guide, there is no link between these
two sections. Therefore, after obtaining the details from the VIN Decoder information, you
will need to click on the

When you have Acrobat Reader 5.0 installed and have not installed the patch, the following information applies:
If you've installed the patch as instructed in step 6 above:
• The blue underlined text
areas within the program are hyperlinks. Positioning your pointer over the blue
text will change your pointer to a hand with the index finger extended • The zoom feature is now activated by right clicking on the document. A menu will pop up providing the following options:
The CD sleeves for
both versions 1.0 and 1.1 of our Rescuer's Guide application state that
Internet Explorer 6.0 and Acrobat Reader 5.0 must be installed
on the workstation. The term "or higher..." was purposely avoided
for Acrobat Reader, because newer
versions have implemented code changes that are known to
be incompatible with the Rescuer's Guide application.
Version 1.1 will allow
a user to continue without installing Acrobat Reader 5.0, warning that
"it is likely that the Rescuer's Guide program will not function correctly,
even if you have a newer version installed."
 If you already have a version of Acrobat Reader that is newer than version 5.X, installing V 5.o will not overwrite your newer version. If you do not wish to install 5.0 click the Cancel button and follow the installation instructions above to install the patch. If you do not have Acrobat Reader, you may choose to install Acrobat Reader 5.0 from the CD. This will provide you with a working copy of Acrobat Reader V5.0. You may still choose to install the patch and this copy of Acrobat Reader 5.0 will still function. These two options will not conflict with each other. Installing the patch enables the Rescuer's Guide program to operate independent of the Adobe Acrobat Reader application(s). The Rescuer's Guide Software Version 1.0 (Rescuer's Guide Third Edition) wouldn't allow a user to install the program unless Acrobat Reader 5.0 has been successfully installed. There is no fix for this version. Note: Installing The Fourth Edition (Software Version 1.1) will overwrite version 1.0. Both versions will not run on the same machine. |
After successfully installing the CD, operating instructions and other help
topics can be obtained by clicking on the help icon in the program’s menu bar.
