Glossary Function

This information only applies if you are installing the manual by itself without the ALERE program.

The HTML manual incorporates a Glossary. Among other functions, the glossary supports expanding hotspot definitions. Words or phrases in red and underlined will display a definition when you click on them.

In order for the glossary to work a special file (named HHActiveX.DLL) needs to be registered on each of your workstations. This file is automatically installed during the program installation process. However, if you are downloading the manual for review on a machine that does not have ALERE installed, then the following information will help you download and install it:

1. Download the file.

2. Copy HHActiveX.DLL into the same folder as the ALERE manual.

3. To register, click the Windows Start button.

4. Select Run.

5. In Open, enter the following:

regsvr32 <path> hhactivex.dll (specify the path of the HHActiveX.DLL)

6. Click Ok.
