Product Coverage Calculator General information screen
  • Along the top of the screen is the Product Coverage Calculator Menu. Below this menu and descending down along the left side of the screen are the Product Coverage Calculator Step Buttons. Note that each Step button has an indicator that shows whether or not that step has been completed. If a Step Button is grayed out you have one or more things left to do for the current step before you can move on. If, on the other hand, the next Step Button has white text you have fulfilled all of the current step's requirements. To the right of the Step Buttons is an area where each step is displayed. The same is true of the Menu items.

Product Coverage Calculator Menu

The options available in this menu and their features are as follows:

• Help - This option, when clicked, opens this Help file in a web browser.

• Print Summary - This option lets you print the summary of your choices.
