• The GP and PC signals are not insulated.
• In the Data Transfer Cable, the FG (cable shield) and SG
wires are shorted together.
• Extending the length of the cable via a USB extension cord
can degrade (weaken) signals, possibly causing an error.
As a result, do not extend the length of the Data Transfer
Cable.

Installation
2
Connect the USB Data Transfer Cable’s USB connector to your PC’s
USB port.
• Be sure to hold the cable connector, not the cable itself, when
unplugging the cable from the GP unit. Next, pull down on the
connector to release the connector’s lock feature (However,
certain GP types do not have this locking feature).
• When connecting the USB Data Transfer Cable to your PC or to
the GP, be sure to insert the cable’s connector at the correct
90oangle. Failure to do so may damage either the connector or
the main unit.
• Since the data transfer cable’s connector case is metal, be sure
it does not contact the charged section of any other equipment.
