INSTALLING THE USB ADAPTER
Note: Your USB Adapter is sensitive to static electricity, which can damage its delicate electrical
components. To protect your device, always touch the metal chassis of your computer before
handling the USB Adapter. This will ground any potential electrostatic discharge. Avoid touching the
metal connector when handling the USB Adapter. Dry weather conditions or walking across carpeted
floors may cause you to acquire an electrostatic charge.
Overview
There are two ways to use your USB Adapter:
1. Connect the USB Adapter directly to an available USB A-type connector on your desktop or
notebook computer.
2. Connect the USB Adapter directly to the included 5-foot USB extension cable,and then
connect the other end of the cable to an available USB A-type connector on your desktop or
notebook computer.

INSTALLING THE USB ADAPTER (CONT’D)
Note: Your USB Adapter is equipped with a powerful antenna, which provides optimal performance
of the radio. In some instances, attaching the USB Adapter directly to the rear of a desktop PC is not
the optimal place for the antenna to propagate its radio signal. For these instances, we recommend
you use the included USB extension cable to extend the USB Adapter to a more optimal place for the
radio signals to propagate.
