It is recommended that you create folders and rename les or folders from your computer when it is connected
to the AV 500. The computer keyboard is much easier to use. However, at times when you are not near your
computer and need to enter text directly with the AV 500 (ex: renaming a le or creating a new folder). For this,
the virtual keyboard screen will appear.

17.2 Connecting the AV 500
Connection order: See the sections below for your particular computer’s operating system.
1) Connect the power adapter to the AV 500.
2) With your computer running, plug the USB cable into your computer.
3) With the AV 500 off, plug in the other end of the USB cable to the AV 500 USB Device port.
4) Turn on the AV 500. (If your computer asks to install a new driver for the new hardware, then you must unplug
it and change the USB Port to Hard Drive.)
* Note that when the AV 500 is connected to a computer, it will use more energy than usual. Your battery power will be
consumed at a higher rate than normal. It is normal that the AV 500 will get hot. If the AV 500 looses power while connected
to your computer you could damage your directory structure and/or loose data. Thus, you should always use the AC
adapter when connected to your computer. Be careful to understand the disconnection procedure also since disconnecting
incorrectly can lead to data loss or computer/AV 500 freeze up. The AV 500 is not compatible with Windows
®
NT, Windows
®
95, or Windows
®
98. While connected to your computer, the AV 500 buttons are blocked and are no longer functional.
