Need help installing an EMG...

I've got an 85 i want to put in my guitar. No tone, or toggle switch. Just one pickup, and 1 volume knob. But I don't have instructions. I CAN'T dowload them off the EMG website either,because my computer is geigh. Can anybody help? Thanks

Is the 85 going to be the only pickup in the guitar?
If so, this should do:

If you have passive pups in there too, tell us more.

Well that WOULD help if my computer could download, the file into human language. But that's actually the same file I tried to get off the website. It might be that fact that it's in PDF . I don't know. if you could download it for me, I could probably get someone to host the image for you to post up here. That would be kickass. And no, passive pickups, and yeah just one EMG, and one volum. nothing more. Thanks for tryin' though

That file is not hosted on the EMG site, I used a stand-alone uploader, because I thought the trouble could be casued by something on the EMG site.

So your computer doesn't read pdfs? Have you got Acrobat Reader installed? (Get it at www.adobe.com)

Here's a screenshot of what's in the PDF:

1. Is the file opened inside your web browser?
2. What browser are you using?

If the answers to the above questions are
1. Yes
2. IE or Netscape of any sort

Then you should probably get Acrobat Reader. (If you want to be able to view PDF files, that is) It's free.

what if the answers are ?
1.no
2.AOL

I saved the file on my desktop, and tried it offline too but that didn't work either. Probably means time to get a new computer

I tried all the ones it would allow me to open them with, not sure what they all are. I think Acrobat Reader was one of them.

If Acrobat Reader is allready installed and it doesn't open the file properly, you would need to reinstall it. If that doesn't help, I have no further advice to give.
