Before Setup
Q1:
How do I check and configure the different properties on my computer before set up?
Look up the
Getting Started (A Complete Start Guide)
chapter of this User’s Manual. There
are detailed explanations on how you can check and configure your computer.
Q2:
What if I only have one USB port available on my computer?
The two unused USB ports are reserved for the USB wireless network adaptor and the base station. If
you have only one USB port available, the following options (and corresponding limitations) are available:
- Use a self-powered USB hub to expand the number of available USB ports.
Or,
- Move other USB devices to the base station. (Note: such devices will become inactive when
DesXcape 150DM is not housed in the base station.)
Or,
- Use your existing wireless network adaptor or wireless access point instead of the USB wireless net-
work adaptor. However, this requires that you have the specialized knowledge to set up the wire-
less network for DesXcape 150DM manually during setup process.
During Hardware Setup
Q3:
Where is the packing list?
A quick packing list is available on Quick Start Guide. A more complete packing list is available at the
Getting Started (A Complete Start Guide) chapter of this User’s Manual.
Q4:
Where is the power switch?
The power switch is located at the upper right corner behind the screen.
Q5:
Why doesn’t the screen light up when I power it on?
There are two possible reasons: 1) You are using DesXcape 150DM on battery power and there is no
power in the battery. Solution: Use your AC power adaptor and/or base station to recharge batteries.
2) The device entered the Standby mode, automatically turning the screen off. Solution: Turn the power
switch off and then on again to turn on the screen.
Q6:
What should I do with unused hardware components?
The wireless network adaptor and USB cables will be installed and used during software setup process
following on screen instructions. Store the unused stylus, mini-VGA cable, and/or audio cable in a safe
place for future use.
During Software Setup
Q7:
What should I do with the
Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard
?
Follow the recommended approach (Install the software automatically) and finish the process before
you proceed further. Please note that there may be more than one device found when you connect
the USB cable from the base station to the computer. Wait for the computer to recognize each device
and install appropriate drivers for each before you proceed.
Q8:
Nothing happens after
Connect USB Cable
page!
Make sure that: 1) You have connected the USB cable correctly; 2) Your DesXcape 150DM is powered-on
and placed on the base station; and 3)The computer has finished all Found New Hardware processes.
Sometimes the Found New Hardware wizard is hidden behind other windows. Also, you might have to
wait for a few seconds for the computer to recognize your DesXcape 150DM and locate the drivers for it.
Another possibility: DesXcape 150DM related hardware devices are not properly installed. To check
installation, right-click on My Computer. Choose Properties, Hardware and then Device Manager. To
fix problem devices, right-click on devices with an exclamation mark and choose update driver. Follow
all screen prompts to complete the process.
