CAUTION: Do not use the serial connection or the power connection while using the USB connection. Doing so will cause the hardware to malfunction.
  1. Connect the stylus pen (or 4/16 button cursor) to the digitizer (shown as Transducer (POINTER) in the image).
  2. Plug the power supply into an AC outlet and connect the power supply to the appropriate jack on the Connector Panel. The digitizer will beep four short tones indicating it is powered on.
  3. Connect the RS-232 serial cable to the serial jack on the connector panel. The connector is keyed and will fit only the correct jack. Do not force it.
  4. Connect the RS-232 serial cable to the serial port on the computer.

    Windows may detect new hardware. If the Found New Hardware wizard appears, click Cancel. You will install the drivers manually at a later time.
