About the SML   To top

The goal of the SML is to provide information that is easy to access, just-in-time, and which contains unique "rich media elements" to service personnel.  Examples of rich media elements include:

  • video clips

  • animations

  • audio

The library does not serve as a single point of access for product or training information, but rather, it provides quick access to service information that has been created in rich media formats.

To view the SML, you will need:

  • Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista
