Note on USB Compatibility

To look for a USB compatible product, you can visit the product search page at the official USB Web site: http:// www.usb.org/app/ search/products.

While testing Creative PC-CAM 900 on PC motherboards with integrated Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, we encountered a small number of motherboards that do not meet the USB specification exactly. These and other non-USB-compliant motherboards may not operate correctly with Creative PC-CAM 900. Fortunately, the manufacturers of some of these motherboards have released new versions of motherboards or BIOS to address the problem.

If the setup program warns you that your motherboard’s USB port is incompatible with Creative PC-CAM 900, or if the camera does not work on your system and you suspect that the problem may be related to your PC’s USB port, the following is a list of available options:

1.Contact your PC vendor.

Your PC vendor may be able to upgrade your motherboard or its BIOS to a newer version that addresses USB incompatibilities.

2.Use a PCI host adapter that provides USB connectors.

If you are not able to upgrade your motherboard or its BIOS, we recommend this approach.

3.Attach the Creative PC-CAM 900 to a powered USB hub.

Some USB devices (such as monitors) also operate as powered USB hubs; you can also buy dedicated powered USB hubs which are to be attached to your PC’s USB port. However, in some cases, attaching a powered USB hub to a non- USB-compliant USB motherboard connector will not solve the problem.
