Does anything happen when you plug it in or do you have to insert your CAC first?

All you need to do is plug the CAC reader into your computer and then insert your CAC into the reader. Your computer will do the rest automatically. If you have any problems, contact your IT Administrator

The drivers install if they haven't already. Then your certificate management will see the reader. Nothing useful happens, however, until the CAC is inserted.

A Windows 8 PC will recognize the reader via plug and play and load the drivers.

You should be able to go on website of maker of cac card reader and free download the drivers. Other than that, most of them are plug and play. Auto installs drivers

No, only when you first plug it in it does a test beep of some sort. After that it silently displays voltages until one of the cells drops below your set limit.

Yes. I have one in the system. It's been a while now since I did it, but I don't recall their being any particular issues installing it so it must have been routine. I just ordered a cheap one and stuck it in the case and plugged it in.

wish I could answer your question. I just know when it is plugged in and I turn it on. it works.

No, you charge it, install it between the battery and your amp. It's always on or it would discharge and pop your amp fuse when it turned on.

Hello,Yes, it has a power safety thing, so you need to plug it in first, it gets activated by the guitar cord. It is also indicated in the manual, I noticed a number of people returning them when they would see this even though it is noted in the manual.

No. It just plugs in. Be sure to install it with airflow going in the proper direction for proper cooling.

You plug it in. However, mine didn't last very long & just didn't work anymore. So, just threw it away. Hope yours works better!

I was able to just plug mine in and it worked fine. Drivers installed and then I was able to use it no problem.

Jim, when you plug it in the device will turn on, however, as one of the reviews had mentioned that electric supplied cird is faulty, so you may have to buy a separate plug for that device. I hope this helps with your buying decision.

When you say you plugged it in, does this mean you wired it to the battery? Or did you plug the charging connector to the connector on your battery, or did you wire it and plug something into it? If 1. you wired it to the battery, you wired the positive connection to ground. As soon as you turned it on you completed the circuit and burned the smallest wire. 2. You plugged the charging connector to opposite connections and you got positive wired to ground. 3. The item you plugged into the unit has a direct short from positive to ground and you burned that item out. Follow the instructions very carefully. Connect the red lead to the positive + side of the battery. Connect the black lead to the negative - side of the battery. Replace the fuse that burned out, and plug the connector into the wiring harness. If you wired it correctly, it should have power all the time, whether or not the key is turned on. You turn the unit on and off via the switch installed in the unit.

Yes it does, plugs right in. Remember that because it only has one pin that it likes to come unplugged easily. Remedy, put a rubber band around it so it stays plugged in all the way.

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don

No but take care when inserting and taking the battery out- it's best to plug in the charger after placement of the battery.

It is supposed to come on when you plug it to the computer, after it installs the driver. Mine stopped working in a few weeks... I hope yours does better...
