# Connecting a DataMan 8600 through USB

1. Connect the serial slide-in (DMCM-SERIALM-00) to your DataMan 8600.

2. With a 2.5 mm Allen wrench, tighten the screws so that the slide-in is firmly locked.

3. Insert the plug, slide the cable lock up to the reader and twist the cable lock in place.

Use the DM8500-USB-00 cable (2.5 meters) or the DM8500-USBC-02 cable (2.5 meters).

Note: Disconnect the DataMan 8600 reader from power before inserting/removing the communication modules.
