Checking for USB Support on WINDOWS 98 Computers

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a relatively new method for your camera to communicate with a personal computer. A USB connection is faster than an
RS-232 serial connection.

USB requires special computer hardware and software features, including a USB enabled motherboard, USB connections, and a Windows 98 operating system. Most computers manufactured prior to January 1997 do not meet these requirements.

1. Verify that a USB connector is present.

   This connector is normally on the back of the computer.

2. Right-click the My Computer icon.
3. Click Properties in the pop-up menu.
4. Verify the operating system is Windows 98.
5. Click the Device Manager tab.
6. Verify that the Universal Serial Bus Controller is present without any yellow or
   red indicators.
7. Click Universal Serial Bus Controller.
8. Verify that a controller and USB Root hub are listed.
9. Double-click USB Root hub.
10. Verify that device status is "The device is working properly."

    If all of the above conditions are met, your computer supports a USB connection.
