Connecting FotoChute to a PC Host

Connecting your FotoChute to a USB Host device, such as a PC or Mac, is extremely simple. The FotoChute portable drive is designed to operate as a bus-powered device, which means it gets its power from the host PC over the USB cable. This is why it is important to turn off battery power (Power Switch set to OFF) when connecting to a PC.

Follow the steps below to connect to a PC or Mac.

1.Locate the Power Switch on the side of your FotoChute and slide it to the OFF position.

2.Next connect the attached USB A-Plug to an available USB port on your PC, Mac, or powered hub.

FotoChute will display the message “Connect to PC”. If there is adequate power being supplied from your PC, the drive will mount automatically and a drive letter representing FotoChute will appear in My Computer (Windows) or a new icon will appear on the desktop (Macintosh).

If it does not mount automatically, you may need to attach the included AC Adapter. This can help to supply more power to FotoChute in those situations where the laptop does not supply sufficient power by itself.

If your FotoChute still fails to mount, you will need to use a different computer for transferring your files.
