Plugging In 

Readit Air has a relatively short attachable USB cable included. This is designed 
to be used in conjunction with laptops. 

A USB extension lead is also provided for desktop PC use. 

At the end of the USB cable is the USB connector that needs inserting into one 
of your computer’s USB ports. The connector has a bump-on stuck onto it. This 
is to enable you to feel which way round the connector is when inserting it into 
a USB socket.

MPORTANT

Some computers have their USB ports fitted the other way up! 

USB  connectors  will  only  plug  into  USB  sockets  one  way  round.  They  do 
not  require  much  force,  so  take  great  care  when  inserting  them  into  a 
socket. Forcing a USB connector into its socket the wrong way round will 
break the socket and or the connector. This is not covered by warranty.
