The computer recognizes the RECORDER if the same USB port is always used and the Found New Hardware Wizard will not appear. Attaching the recorder to a brand new USB port for the first time initiates the Found New Hardware setup.

1.4 RED LED

A solid red LED (light) must always appear when RECORDER is connected to the computer. The red LED appears only if the USB port supplies sufficient power to the Recorder. If the power from the USB port is marginal an external power supply such as USB hub should be used.

1.5 POWERED USB HUB

Most laptops and some desktops need the aid of an external power supply (USB HUB) in order for the HAWK to function properly. If the power is marginal the RECORDER will not connect or communicate with the computer. The USB hub provided by ADS can be used to power the RECORDER. The USB hub will be needed if the Red LED does not appear from the recorder. All other USB devices such as PDAs, scanners, printers, mouse, keyboard, etc, should be connected through the USB hub to reduce device conflicts and power issues.

4 Port Powered USB HUB

Note!

Exiting this program should be done in a normal fashion. Killing power on your computer in the middle of a program running under Windows may cause you problems. If you are stuck, use CTRL-ESC-DELETE and terminate the USBird program.
