Title: AlphaPremiere™ 9000 Series Sign Installation Instructions

Description: This 22-page manual describes the AlphaPremiere™ 9000 series LED sign.
The 9000 series are 4-line, full-matrix, indoor LED signs that can be networked together. These signs can display both text and graphics, and speakers in the sign can generate tones.

NOTE: In order to create and display text and graphics on AlphaPremiere™ 9000 series signs, software must be used. For example, AlphaNet™ for Windows® software can be used.

In this "D" version of the manual, information on new sign firmware that affected Ethernet operation was added.
