Ye gods... for being the 'e-business leader' or whatever they call themselves these days, their website(s) are atrocious. I did a couple searches and slogged my way through their site a few times and never found that.
Thanks for the info!

There is no service guide: the procedure is in Part 2 of the User guide,
which you can get from the Internet in PDF format.
