The LT1000 Mini is a sturdy portable frame supporting an
LT1000 unit. It is light-weight, easy-to-carry and can be
used with any SeeSnake reel simply by connecting the
SeeSnake System Cable. It is an economical alterna-
tive if you need to shift your LT1000 between SeeSnake
reels frequently. The LT1000 Mini is shipped with the
LT1000 unit already installed on the portable frame.

Preparing the Laptop

To operate correctly with the LT1000, the laptop to be
used must have SeeSnake HQ software installed on it.
HQ software enables you to create, manage and store im-
ages, audio and video from the LT1000. The software is
on the CD that ships with the LT1000. To load the soft-
ware from the CD:
You must install SeeSnake HQ and its drivers before
connecting the LT1000 to your computer.
1. Insert the CD into the computer's CD drive.
2. The laptop should auto-detect the CD and begin the
installation process. It may ask for an admin password
before installing the HQ software.
3. When the software installation is complete, eject the
CD and store it in a safe place.
NOTE! Software update checks will occur automatically
when the laptop is connected to the Internet. If an
update is detected you will be asked if you want
to install it, and the update will occur automatically
if you indicate you want it installed. The latest ver-
sion can be checked for manually by placing the
laptop on-line and pointing an Internet browser to
http://www.hq.ridgid.com/product-hq.php .
4. Alternatively the software may be installed by brows-
ing to the updates website given above and following
the instructions found there.
5. For detailed instructions on using HQ software to
manage your video clips, still photos, reports, cus-
tomer information and formats, direct a web-con-
nected browser to http://www.hq.ridgid.com/. You
will find on-line user instructions for every aspect of
HQ's capabilities there.
