CONNECTING DOCKPOD
TO YOUR COMPUTER
Important Notes:
• FireWire cables can only be properly
inserted one way. Be sure to insert
the plugs properly or you may dam
-
age the DockPod. Your DockPod came
with a 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable.
If you wish to connect your DockPod
to a laptop/notebook computer, you
may need to purchase a 6-pin to 4-pin
FireWire cable.
• Each end of the USB cable has dif-
ferent plugs, called 'A' and 'B'.
The
'A' end plugs into your computer or
USB hub. The 'B' end plugs into the
DockPod. Be sure to correctly insert
the plugs, or you may damage the
DockPod.
