Boot Loader When power is applied to the CM-5 unit, the “CM Boot Loader” program in Reset

functions as a PC operating system, but it has the following basic features:
uploading and executing user created programs to the CM-5 unit memory,
verifying the data in the memory, and downloading programs back to a PC. All
numbers are treated in hexadecimal.
Caution If you do not fully understand the system, do not use the Boot Loader.
Execution In the Robot Terminal, press and hold the # key and press the mode switch to go
into the Boot Loader.
