STEP 1: Install the Driver and Configuration Utility

1Do NOT install adapter first. Insert the enclosed CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

2Your CD auto-run function may start automatically. If it does not, click on the Start button. Click Run and enter D:\autorun. (If your CD-ROM drive is not your D drive, use the appropriate drive letter.)

3When the adapter menu screen appears, click on Install Software from the menu on the left side of the screen.

4The InstallShield Wizard will appear.

5Different versions of Windows® will present different screens. Press Next at each screen until the Wizard driver installation has completed. IMPORTANT: Remove CD-ROM disk before continuing.

6Some versions will present a screen that asks about restarting your computer. Choose Yes, I will restart my computer now.

7Click Finish, if necessary. A new icon will appear on your Windows® desktop. You can double-click it to launch the utility at any time.

Proceed to Step 2 only after the software has been correctly installed.

If correctly installed, a Utility icon (four vertical bars) should appear next to your computer’s time display. An “X” indicates that software installation was successful, but the wireless adapter is not yet activated.
