Preparations for using the UA-1000
Installing the driver
What is a driver?
A
“driver”
is software that transfers data between the UA-1000 and application
software running on your computer, when your computer and the UA-1000 are
connected by a USB cable. The driver sends data from your application to the UA-
1000, and from the UA-1000 to your application.

With the UA-1000 disconnected, start up Windows.
Disconnect all USB cables except for a USB keyboard and USB mouse (if used).
If you are using virus checking or similar software, be sure to exit it as well.
