Installing & Setting Up the Driver (Macintosh)

Mac OS X users
1.

With the GS-10 disconnected, start up Mac OS.

Disconnect all USB cables except for a USB keyboard and USB mouse (if used).

2.

Exit all currently running software (applications).

Also close any open windows. If you are using virus checking or similar software, be sure to exit it
as well.

3.

Before connecting the USB cable, switch the GS-10’s driver mode to “Standard.”

For instructions on switching the GS-10’s driver modes, refer to “Switching the Driver Mode” (p. 80).

4.

With the power switch turned OFF, use the USB cable to connect the GS-10 to
your computer.

5.

Make sure that the GS-10’s OUTPUT LEVEL is set to the lowest setting, then
switch ON the POWER switch.

6.

Open “System Preferences” and click “Sound.”

7.

In the “Sound Effects” tab, set “Play alerts and sound effects through” to “GS-
10.”

Now, try clicking on an alert in the list. If the sound of the alert comes from the GS-10 when you do
so, it means that the GS-10 is being recognized and that the driver has been installed properly.

Turn on power to your various
devices in the order specified.
By turning on devices in the
wrong order, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to
other devices.

This unit is equipped with a
protection circuit. A brief
interval (a few seconds) after
power up is required before
the unit will operate normally.

Once set this way, all sounds
from your Macintosh
(including audio alerts) will be
output only through the GS-10,
not from the speakers of your
Macintosh.
