Know when the website is updated (experimental)
You can use Internet Explorer to tell you when the website has been updated. Follow these steps:
- From this page, select "Favorites" -> "Add to Favorites..."
- Check "Make available offline" and click "Customize..."
- If you see an introduction screen, click "Next >"
- Where it asks whether you would like to make linked pages available offline too, select "Yes" and keep "1" and the link depth
- To get maximum utility out of this feature, you should synchronize daily (Select "I would like to create a new schedule.").
- Set the interval to "Daily" and choose any time of day you want.
- There is no password for the site.
- When you are done with the Offline Favorite Wizard, click OK in the "Add Favorite" box.
- Whenever the icon in the "Favorites" menu for ES 50 has a little red dot next to it, it means that the last time it was synchronized, the site had been updated since the last time you . You can also look in "Start Menu" -> "Favorites" to see if the red dot is there.
Don't have Acrobat Reader?
The Acrobat Reader reads PDF (portable document format) files, which are increasingly being used to distribute documents over the Web. To get Acrobat Reader, you have two options. You can get the full version of Adobe Acrobat from the FAS Applications Installer or you can get just the Reader from Adobe's website for free.
