82 Troubleshooting If you experience problems, read this chapter first. It contains tips for resolving problems. ● Is the PCR connected correctly? Make sure that the PCR is connected to the USB connector of your computer via a USB cable. After making the USB connection, it may take fifteen seconds or more for your computer to detect the PCR. ● [...]

83 Troubleshooting ● Could you have connected the PCR to a USB connector that’s different than the one used when you installed the driver? The USB driver must be installed for each USB connector to which you connect the PCR. If you have a USB hub or a computer that has more than one USB connector, you should normally connect the PCR to the USB [...]

84 Troubleshooting If you were unable to install the USB driver using the procedure given, it is possible that your computer did not recognize the PCR’s USB driver correctly. In this case, you’ll need to delete the incorrectly installed USB driver. Follow the procedure below to delete the USB driver, and then re-install it. Windows users 1 Disc[...]
