Start the software
On Microsoft Windows computers
The first time you plug your USB Stick into a PC the software setup should start automatically, and proceed to set up your USB Stick. If for some reason the setup does not start, right click on the VMC Lite 9.3.x.x drive in ‘My Computer’ (Start Menu, Computer for Vista machines), select Explore and double-click the file called setup.exe on the USB Stick. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Setting up your USB Stick may take a few minutes, but once the setup is finished, the Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite software should start automatically. If for some reason the program does not start, select Vodafone Mobile Connect from the Windows Start menu.
On Mac OS X computers
The first time you plug in your USB Stick, it will show up on your desktop like a standard USB memory stick. From the USB Stick window, doubleclick the file called Vodafone MC Installer, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Once your Mac has restarted, the USB Stick will no longer appear, but you will see the Vodafone Mobile Connect software in your Applications folder. Double-click the program to set up a mobile connection.
