Installing Windows USB drivers

You may want to connect your computer to the SpeedTouch™ using the USB port. To be able to do so, you must install the corresponding USB driver.

USB connection on the SpeedTouch™ is supported for following Microsoft Operating Systems:

MS Windows 98SE

MS Windows Millennium MS Windows 2000 MS Windows XP

You may need the Windows installation CD during installation.

The installation procedure might be slightly different depending on the MS Windows OS you are using.

Mac Operating Systems:

Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar)

Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther)

The first time you connect the SpeedTouch™ to your PC through a USB interface, as soon as you plug the USB cable into the PC, you will be prompted for a USB driver.

You will find the required USB driver software on the Setup CD, you just entered in your PC’s CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. The installation is plug and play, meaning that installation will require almost no effort.

Proceed as follows:

1Insert the blue USB cable provided into the SpeedTouch™ USB port marked with the USB logo.
