For Your Own Safety If you purchased your PCTV 310i together with a PC and it is already installed, skip the next few chapters and continue with the chapter "Connecting the Equipment".

Hardware Installation Preparing Installation The only tool you need for the installation is a screwdriver. Divert any possible electrostatic charge from your body by touching the casing of your PC. Turn off your computer and all peripheral devices. Disconnect the computer from the power supply and all necessary components.
