Connecting to a Personal Computer
Turn your eXplorist off and connect the connector of the eXplorist data cable to the back of your eXplorist and
tighten the locking screw. There are alignment tabs on the connector to make sure that the connector is
installed properly. It is recommended that you connect the eXplorist to external power using the external AC
power adapter.

computer USB ports (normally found on the back of your personal computer). Turn your personal computer on
and then turn on your eXplorist. You may see a message on your computer indicating that it has found a new
USB hardware device. On your eXplorist, a screen is displayed indicating that it is in USB File transfer mode.
Right click the "My Computer" icon on the desktop of your computer and select the "Explore" option. From
here you are able to copy files to and from the eXplorist or SD card, depending upon what you have selected.
