I connected the USB cable, but I am having problems using the product with my computer

Solution: You must first install the software that came with the product before connecting the USB cable. During installation, do not plug in the USB cable until prompted by the onscreen instructions.

Once you have installed the software, connecting your computer to the product with a USB cable is straightforward. Simply plug one end of the USB cable into the back of your computer and the other into the back of the product. You can connect to any USB port on the back of your computer.

For more information on installing the software and connecting the USB cable, see the Setup Guide that came with the product.

Cause: The USB cable was connected before the software was installed. Connecting the USB cable before you are prompted can cause errors.
