a. Connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from the computer.
b. Connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from another i.LINK device

Note the following when you use i.LINK:

a. You may need to install drivers for your i.LINK devices.
b. Not all i.LINK devices have been tested. Therefore, compatibility

with all i.LINK devices cannot be guaranteed.

c. Use S100, S200 or S400 cables no longer than three meters.
d. Some devices might not support standby or automatic off functions.
e. Do not connect or disconnect an i.LINK device while it is using an

application or when the computer is automatically shutting it down to
save power. Data might be destroyed.

f. When multiple IEEE1394 devices are connected to a PC, the

devices may not correctly be identified. This problem may occur
when Windows

®

XP is restarted while the devices are connected or

when the power to the IEEE1394 devices is turned on before the PC
is turned on. If it occurs, disconnect the IEEE1394 cables and then
reconnect them.

Disconnecting

2. Point to i.LINK (IEEE1394) device and click.
3. Disconnect the cable from the computer then from the i.LINK device.
