Troubleshooting

• Using the Philips SpeechMike together with certain USB hubs on certain PCs may cause the

operating system to stop responding when the PC is started. To workaround this: unplug your

SpeechMike before starting the PC and reconnect it afterw ards. To solve this problem, we

recommend replacing the USB hub or connecting your Sp eechMike directly to the USB port of your

PC.

• Some PC providers limit the output pow er of USB ports to 100mA (milliamps). These USB ports are

called bus-powered USB ports. Such ports m ay not provide enough power for some USB devic es to

function properly. To resolve this issue, connect a self- powered USB hub to the USB port of your

PC, then connect the USB device via the self-powered hub.

• If the LEDs and buttons of your SpeechMike do not work correctly, ref er to the Readme file on the

Driver & Utility CD.

The cable of your SpeechMike can be damaged if it i s kinked or if it is pulled or twisted too m uch.

Please handle the cable carefully to ensure the best possible p erformance of your SpeechMike.

For more information please refer to the User Manual on the Driver & Utility CD.
