6 Connecting to the computer
Don't worry: You only need a few manual operations to connect the DLKPro to the computer and start the
PC programme. These routine actions will soon become second nature.
And if you have sometimes to do something different – perhaps because you connected the device to a different
computer – all the actions you would have to take are described below.
Please note that you can only start the "DownloadTools" PC programme from the DLKPro.
Requirements:
• Java Runtime Environment 1.6.26 (or a later
version) must be installed; see tip.
• Two drive letters must be available
(3 if an SDHC™ card is used).
• Optional:
– The Autostarter must be installed on the
computer.
– A connection to the Internet is necessary for
automatically updating the PC programme
(see page 32) or for direct access to the
®
TIS-Web login page; see page 23.
Note: You can of course also use the DLKPro without
an Internet connection.
If you do this often, however, you should connect the
DLKPro to an Internet-enabled computer from time to
time (at your service partner's for example) to install
current updates.

Tip:
• You can check whether the above-mentioned Java
Runtime Environment is installed via "[Start] >
Control Panel > Programs > Programs and
Features".
• If the Java Runtime Environment is not available, the
PC programme will not be displayed correctly. You'll
find the Java setup file on the DLKPro at
"KEYTOOLS:\Support".
Run the file to install Java Runtime Environment.
• For information on how to set up the Internet
connection to your TIS-Web
the instructions in the TIS-Web
Guide.
Connect the USB cable (included in the product
package) to a USB port on your computer.
Tip: If you use a USB hub as a DLKPro connection,
make sure that the hub has its own power supply.
Otherwise the DLKPro's battery can only be charged
with a minimal charging current; see page 5 or 18.
Connect the DLKPro to your computer using the
USB cable or a USB hub.
• The DLKPro LED flashes for about one second.
