Tro ubleshooting

I pressed the file transfer button but nothing happens.What should I do?

Make sure your digital camera is on when you press the file
transfer button.

The file transfer seems to take forever. Why?

Depending on the size of the media and your digital camera speed,the
file transfer can take up to several minutes depending on how much
data you are transferring to the iPod.If it seems like it is taking longer
then usual, disconnect and reconnect the Unit to the iPod and
retransmit again.

I started the file transfer but it doesn’t finish. What should I do?

Check your iPod and camera battery power.If you have a large file
transfer and either your iPod battery or your digital camera battery
is low,your files may not be able to completely transfer. A fully charged
iPod and camera is recommended when performing a large file archive.

I hit the transfer button but it doesn’t transfer anything.Why not?

You r di gital camera may not be compatible with the Unit. Some older
digital cameras do not use the DCIM format when they store the digital
picture either internally or on a removable media card.If that’s the case,
you may need to connect your digital camera to your computer and
install the necessary drivers to retrieve your files from the digital
camera.

The transfer is incomplete. Why did some files not make it to
my iPod?

There are some digital cameras that store movie files or TIFF files in
directories other than the DCIM directory; some use a different
folder-naming convention that is not recognized by the DCIM format. If
that’s the case,you may need to connect your digital camera to
your computer and retrieve your files from the digital camera through
your computer.

User Interface and General Operation:

NOTE: After a file transfer is complete, disconnect the Unit from both the
camera and the iPod.Reconnect the iPod to the Unit to reestablish the
“ready” state. The Unit is now ready to connect to a camera for another
file transfer.
NOTE:The Unit will perform transfers when battery status is low, however,
we strongly suggest that you verify file transfers performed in this
condition. Should the transfer fail,insert new batteries and repeat the
transfer procedure.

Tra nsfe rri ng photos using iPhoto™:

Connect the iPod to your computer.If you are using a Macintosh®
computer,iPhoto will automatically detect photos on the iPod and
iPhoto will open.

Setup Instructions

1. Power on the iPod.

2. Connect the Digital Camera Link (the Unit) to the iPod.The Unit

will turn on automatically.After a few seconds, the LED will turn
green to indicate proper connection. See below LED chart for
further LED interpretation.

3. Connect your digital camera to the Unit.

4. Press the button once on the Unit to initiate file archive.

5. After transfer is complete* (see LED chart below), the user has

three options:

a) Press the button again to begin the data verification process; or
b) Disconnect the Unit from the iPod; or
c) Manually check the iPod for complete file transfer.Once the

“OK to disconnect” or the “Main Menu” screen appears after
transfer is complete,select “Extras > Photo Import”and select
the roll number for verification. Photos are listed on the iPod
by roll number in the “Photo Import”folder.

6. The Unit will power off immediately after disconnecting the Unit
from the iPod.

*You CANNOT view the photos on the iPod.
NOTE: Disconnect the Unit when not in use to preserve battery life.Belkin

recommends use of high-quality alkaline batteries. Battery life depends
greatly on the type of media being used and the type of battery being used;
however,a single set of high-quality alkaline batteries should allow transfer
of 24 or more typical 128MB CompactFlash® cards (3GB or more of data).

NOTE: Do not disconnect the Unit from the iPod while files are being
transferred.The message “Do Not Disconnect” will appear on your iPod
during the archive and data verification process.It is safe to disconnect
your Unit from the iPod when the message “OK to Disconnect”or “Main
Menu” is displayed on your iPod or after the media transfer is complete.

dragging them to the desktop.

NOTE: While the iPod is connected to your computer, you can erase the
images from the DCIM folder on your computer and the images will be
