Connecting Your Handheld Device to a PC

I. Connect the AC Adapter

Attention: If your handheld device uses Lithium CR-2032 batteries you must use the AC adapter to provide enough power to transfer titles. For handheld devices that use AAA batteries, users may want to use an AC adapter to conserve battery power. Only AC adapters purchased from www.franklin.com will work with these devices. Please look for Model # 7402001 when you visit Franklin's Web site.

  1. Connect one end of the adapter to your handheld device.
  2. Connect the other end to a power source.
