operate at USB 1.x speeds. You will need to follow any necessary set-up instructions for each RocketPod module, as described in their respective User’s Guides.

Q:I stacked on a RocketPod module and it powered on but my computer did not recognize it.

A:Make sure you properly followed the set-up instructions for that device. Each RocketPod peripheral has it’s own set-up requirements independent of the DockPod. Also, check to make sure that you are using the correct interface and that it is properly connected. For example, if the RocketPod module you stacked onto your DockPod uses a USB 2.0 interface, make sure you properly connect the DockPod’s USB 2.0 interface to your computer or USB hub.

Q:I have a RocketPod module stacked onto my DockPod, but the Stack light is not on.

A:First, make sure your DockPod is turned on. If it is, the most likely cause is the module is not properly seated on the DockPod. Remove the module and re-connect it, following the connection procedure in this guide. If your stacked-on modules are recognized by your com- puter and functioning fine but the Stack light is not illuminated, there is a problem with the light itself.

Q: The voltage meter doesn’t seem to work properly.

A:Like the Stack light, the voltage meter is only active when one or more RocketPod modules are stacked onto the DockPod and the DockPod is turned on.

Q:Do I need to worry about the exposed Stack&Play connector when my DockPod or RocketPod stack is powered on?

A:Since every RocketPod peripheral has a connector built into the top, you will always have an exposed or free connector with the last (top) module in a stack. Free connectors are inactive; they do not have power, so it is perfectly safe to touch them. However, we do recommend that you cover the free connector using the Connector Cap that comes with every stack-on RocketPod peripheral in order to protect the connector and prevent dust from collecting on it.

Q:When I leave my computer idle for a while and come back, my RocketPod modules won’t work properly.

A:The most likely cause is that your computer is going into sleep mode. The immediate solution is to restart your computer. To pre- vent this problem from recurring, set your computer to never go into sleep mode. (See the documentation that came with your computer for instructions.)
