1
Click the right mouse button on the My Computer icon on your computer’s
desktop.
2
Click on Properties in the pop-up menu.
3
Click the Device Manager tab.
4
Double-click on the Ports device in the displayed list.

Verify that there is at least one Communication Port.
If at least one Communications Port is present, your computer supports an
RS-232 Serial connection.
Connecting via a serial cable
The camera can connect to a computer using the serial cable included in your
camera package.

Plug one end of the serial cable into a COM port
on the back of your PC.

If your computer has a 25-pin port, you need
to use a 9-pin adapter and attach it to the

computer.
2
Open the serial port on the side of your camera.
3
Plug the other end of the serial cable into the
camera’s serial port.
