Notes on connecting an i.LINK device

Do not connect more than one digital video camera recorder at a time. The
programs supplied with your computer will not recognize multiple cameras.

Do not connect an external device that requires power from the i.LINK®
port. The i.LINK port cannot supply power to the external device.

The computer supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual
transfer rate is the lowest transfer rate of the external device.

The i.LINK features available may vary depending on the programs you use.
See the documentation that accompanied your program for more
information.
