reconfiguring, power off the computer and remove or reconfigure the hardware before rebooting. Otherwise,
simply reboot the computer.

conflicts exist, perform the following steps:
a. Check for loose cable connections and verify the MODULE POWER indicator is ON.
b. Verify that the computer's printer port and data cable work with a printer or other device.
c. Verify there are no installed devices that Windows does not recognize but whose
resources might conflict with the WaveBook.
d. Verify that WaveBook works on another PC (from a different manufacture if possible).
