disk, at an appropriate location.
To install the program, simply double click on the Set-up icon and follow the instructions.
If not already done, power up the Dual Monitor amplifier and connect the USB cable between the amplifier and
your computer. Wait a few seconds while the amplifier firmware is loading, when finished Windows will notify
you that a new hardware has been detected.
When prompted do NOT allow Windows to install the drivers for you. ALWAYS choose to install the drivers by

browse the disk directory and select C:\\FOCAL USB DRIVER 1.
Install all drivers. Usually, you will need to install the drivers twice.
Note: If this program informs you about an old Windows Installer version, you must exit the program,
install a Windows Installer version 1.2 or above. Windows Installer 2.0 for Windows 98 is included on
the installation CD or it can be downloaded from the Microsoft website.
