How to unsubscribe from this mailing list... First, ask your Internet Provider to mail you an Unsubscribing Kit. Then follow these directions. The kit will most likely be the standard no-fault type. Depending on requirements, System A and/or System B can be used. When operating System A, depress lever and a plastic dalkron unsubscriber will be dispensed through the slot immediately underneath. When you have fastened the adhesive lip, attach connection marked by the large "X" outlet hose. Twist the silver-coloured ring one inch below the connection point until you feel it lock. The kit is now ready for use. The Cin-Eliminator is activated by the small switch on the lip. When securing, twist the ring back to its initial condition, so that the two orange lines meet. Disconnect. Place the dalkron unsubscriber in the vacuum receptacle to the rear. Activate by pressing the blue button. The controls for System B are located on the opposite side. The red release switch places the Cin-Eliminator into position; it can be adjusted manually up or down by pressing the blue manual release button. The opening is self-adjusting. To secure after use, press the green button, which simultaneously activates the evaporator and returns the Cin-Eliminator to its storage position. You may log off if the green exit light is on over the evaporator. If the red light is illuminated, one of the Cin-Eliminator requirements has not been properly implemented. Press the "List Guy" call button on the right of the evaporator. He will secure all facilities from his control panel. To use the Auto-Unsub, first undress and place all your clothes in the clothes rack. Put on the velcro slippers located in the cabinet immediately below. Enter the shower,taking the entire kit with you. On the control panel to your upper right upon entering you will see a "Shower seal" button. Press to activate. A green light will then be illuminated immediately below. On the intensity knob, select the desired setting. Now depress the Auto-Unsub activation lever. Bathe normally. The Auto-Unsub will automatically go off after three minutes unless you activate the "Manual off" override switch by flipping it up. When you are ready to leave, press the blue "Shower seal" release button. The door will open and you may leave. Please remove the velcro slippers and place them in their container. If you prefer the ultrasonic log-off mode, press the indicated blue button. When the twin panels open, pull forward by rings A & B. The knob to the left, just below the blue light, has three settings, low, medium or high. For normal use, the medium setting is suggested. After these settings have been made, you can activate the device by switching to the "ON" position the clearly marked red switch. If during the unsubscribing operation you wish to change the settings, place the "manual off" override switch in the "OFF" position. You may now make the change and repeat the cycle. When the green exit light goes on, you may log off and have lunch. Please close the door behind you. Please note, Kalifornia based ISPs are no longer permitted to send out Unsubscribing Kits (UK) with the dalkron unsubscriber. There was an incident last summer in Compton (Southern Kalifornia, of course) where some gang bangers got a hold of a *modified* dalkron unit and were doing drive by unsubscribings. This incident has spurred the introduction of House Bill AB7888 which will in effect prohibit the dispensing of any dalkron unsubscribers manufactured after April 1st, 2002, AND require registration of dalkron unsubscribers manufactured prior to that date by January 1, 2003 (I got around that by snipping the brown wire). If the owner of a dalkron unsubscriber chooses not to register it ($50 fee and fingerprinting) they have until midnight December 31, 2002 to either turn it in to law enforcement, or dispose of it out of state. Penalties for failure to do so range from fines and probation to a 3 year prison term if a repeat offender. The State Office of Computer Resources (search Google with "Gray Davis" and "Oracle" and "campaign contributions") currently suggest the use of an *approved* AC powered Ultrasonic Unsubscriber made by Oracle. This of course costs lots more than the dalkron units, and are only "single use" items. Unfortunately due to the large amounts of UUs being discarded and winding up in land fills across the state, there are numerous reports of birth defects, illness leading to death due to groundwater contamination associated with the UUs. The Office of the Governor has given Oracle 10 years to phase out these UU units so that they may recapture their research and development costs. Another public service announcement.
