To connect the device to your computer:

1. Insert the larger (USB) end of the USB to Micro B cable into the computer.

2. Insert the other (Micro B) end of the USB to Micro B cable into the USB connector on the side of

the device.

Charging the Device

You need to recharge your device’s battery periodically. You can continue using your device while it is charging.

To charge the battery, you have two options, as shown in the drawing below. You can connect the de

vice to an AC charger (faster way to charge). (See “Using the AC Charger with USB Port” on

page 12.) Alternatively, you can connect the device to a computer (slower way to charge). (See “Charging Through a Computer” on page 13.)

If you’ll be using USB for data transfer (and not just for charging the device), you must install the device driver. See “Making a Tethered Connection” on page 27.

Note:

If you’re using Mac OS X 10.4.x, after you connect the device you may see a warning message that your computer is running on UPS backup battery and that you should perform a computer shutdown. You can continue with your work. To prevent this message from being displayed, install the device driver. See “Making a Tethered Connection” on page 27.
