Connecting Your FireWire

Peripheral (Cont.)

Windows 98 SE Instructions:

1)Connect the FireWire A-B cable (included in this package) to your new FireWire card.

2)Before connecting the digital video camera, please make sure it’s powered ON. It’s also good practice to power the camera from your wall power outlet to conserve battery power. Some digital video cameras will not properly communicate with the PC if they’re not powered through the wall outlet. Connect the FireWire A-B cable to your camera.

3)Windows 98 SE will now load the appropriate driver for you. This process is handled in the background, and requires no input from the user.

4)To determine if the installation process was successful, right-click on the MY COMPUTER icon, then select PROPERTIES. Under the DEVICE MANAGER tab, you should see a heading labeled IMAGING DEVICES. If you click on IMAGING DEVICES and see a MICROSOFT DV CAMERA & VCR, the installation was successful. If the above device is not listed in the DEVICE MANAGER, make sure the camera is turned on and properly connected to the FireWire card.
