Driver/software installation
• The operating software and application software are subject to constant updates. For that
reason this manual cannot describe all eventualities but only the software installation in
general.

computer. The software should start automatically for you to install. In case the CD does not
start automatically, you must manually start the installation program contained on the CD
(open main directory, “exe” file). Follow all instructions of the software. A new shortcut will be
created on the desktop of your computer.
• Connect the USB cable (2) to a free USB 2.0 port of your computer. The operating system
will detect the new hardware and complete the driver installation. Adhere to any manufacturer
information provided on the CD.
