CONNECTING THE ASTRACAM CRADLE
Powering Up the Cradle
The power adapter sends power to the cradle and recharges the AstraCam
batteries when the camera is resting in the cradle.
1. Insert the power adapter plug into the base at the rear of the AstraCam
Cradle.
2. Attach the AC power cord to the power adapter.
3. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
Connecting the Cradle to Your Computer
The AstraCam Cradle connects your camera to a computer using the
attached USB cable. The USB system is "hot-swappable." You do not have
to turn your system off before inserting the USB cable into the port.
1. Look on the back of your computer for the USB port. The USB
port is a small slot 1/2" long by 1/4" wide (see illustration on the
right).
2. Gently push the USB cable connector from
the cradle into the socket making sure that
it is firmly inserted in the port. With the
AstraCam power switch turned OFF, place
the AstraCam in the cradle. Windows will
display screens saying that it discovered
your new hardware, is updating the driver
database and is installing new software.
