Bloomberg Guide

CREATE A LOGIN NAME and PASSWORD

1. Launch Bloomberg
2. Press the red CONN/DEFAULT key once
3. When the username/password option appears, look for a message telling you how to set up your own login/password. Initially, leave those fields blank and press <GO>  
4. You will be prompted to enter your name and to create a password. A Bloomberg rep will contact you to validate your information. Choose how you want to receive your validation code, either by SMS Text Message (preferred option) or phone call.
5. Once you receive your validation code, enter it; once it is validated, you will be prompted to respond to a few additional informational questions.
6. Use your Bloomberg login/password to complete sessions NOT YOUR FGCU USERNAME/PASSWORD.

Tip: take advantage of the double screens to look up answers to the exam questions while taking the exam. It is highly recommended that you take the exam immediately after completing watching the video rather than waiting.
