** PLEASE NOTE: Simplex 4190 Series TrueSite Incident Commander computers are Agency listed for use with TrueSite Workstation
software. For Desktop applications where Agency listings are not required, TrueSite Workstation software should be compatible with most
computers meeting the stated minimum specifications. However, due to computer manufacturers potentially using unique and/or
proprietary drivers, hardware, or other software not tested with TrueSite Workstation software, there may be incompatibilities. If other
computers are used, proper operation with TrueSite Workstation software may require technical adjustments by a qualified computer
technician and would be the sole responsibility of the computer supplier and computer manufacturer.
