A personal computer (PC) (30) as a terminal control apparatus customizes a function assignment for assigning a particular function to a particular switch in an integrated circuit (IC) recorder (20) as a terminal. Using only a particular IC recorder having a key ID, from among other IC recorders (20), a customization software program is installed in the computer and the installed software program is initiated. With the software program initiated, a function customization operation is performed on an IC recorder (20) having no key ID. Without using an electronic key by the PC (30), the function of the IC recorder is customized for dealers who own the particular IC recorder. |
