IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
307
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off
the power to all units. This will help prevent
malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other
devices.
Placement
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
352b
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the
vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when
receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing.
Should you experience such problems, you should
relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater
distance from this unit, or switch them off.
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature
extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the
unit.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit.
Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to
use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using
the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours,
until the condensation has completely evaporated.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry
cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with
water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a
soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.
Handling CD-ROMs
801
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside
(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-
ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs
clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.
Additional Precautions
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its
jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to
malfunctions.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself–never pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s
internal elements.
558b
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels (especially when it is
late at night).
559a
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the
box (including padding) that it came in, if possible.
Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging
materials.

Getting Connected and Installing Drivers
What is a driver?
A “driver” is software that transfers data between the UM-2G and application software
running on your computer, when your computer and the UM-2G are connected. The driver
sends data from your application to the UM-2G, and from the UM-2G to your application.
Steps to be performed on the UM-2G itself are marked by a symbol.
Do not connect the UM-2G to your computer until you are directed to do so.
1. Start up Windows without the UM-2G connected.
* Disconnect all USB cables other than those for a USB keyboard and/or USB mouse (if used).
2. Close all currently running software.
3. Insert the included “UM-2G CD-ROM” into your CD-ROM drive.
4. In the CD-ROM, go to the appropriate folder as listed below, and double-click the
Setup icon.
UM-2G\Driver\Vista\Setup.exe
* If a message saying “Drivers must be installed by an administrator” appears, log on to
Windows as a user whose account has administrative privileges, and perform the installation
again.
