- Connect the Kanguru Clone to the PC using the provided Serial to USB adapter cable.
- The serial end of the cable connects to the port located on the back of the duplicator.
- The USB end of the cable connects to a USB port on your PC.Note: If this is your first time connecting the Serial to USB adapter cable to your computer, you will need to install the device driver. The device driver can be found on the CD that came with your duplicator, located in the “Serial to USB Driver” folder.
- Power on the Kanguru Clone Duplicator. Make sure that Main Setup > Set UART Control option has been enabled on the duplicator.
- Load the CD that came with your duplicator into the PC and open the folder named “Kanguru Control Manager”.

Once the Control Manager software is running, you need to establish the connection between the Kanguru Clone Duplicator and the application. To establish the connection:
