Troubleshooting
Question 1: Computer cannot detect DICOTA Contact
Solution: Check if the computer’s operating system, BIOS or USB port
are malfunctioning or if errors occured during the installation.
Steps: Windows 95 does not support USB ports. You have to update
your operating system to Windows 98 or above to support USB ports
and ensure BIOS setup and USB settings are available. If the problem
still occurs, please try connecting DICOTA Contact to your computer via
another USB socket.
Question 2: My video image is too dim or too bright
Solution: Adjust the brightness and background contrast.
Steps: As DICOTA Contact can easily be affected by light, we suggest
increasing the object brightness or moving the light source.
Question 3: Color is defective
Problem: After installation, you find the image quality not to be as
expected. Is the color part defective?
Solution: Adjust the color settings related to video snapping course
options or have the color settings related set as “default“.
Question 4: Blank screen or black screen
Symptom: During the usage course after the image frame pops up,
a blank or black screen will occur.
Method 1: Make sure the driver is properly installed.
Method 2: Ensure the “Preview” under “Option” tab is selected and
applied.
Method 3: If your computer’s operating system is the first version of
Windows®98, then you need to update it to Windows®SE or higher or
download DirectX8.0 or a higher version, install it and restart your computer.
Question 5: Blue screen occurs during the course of usage
Method 1: Check if the USB power is constant, as DICOTA Contact is
easily affected by power fluctuations. If the USB power wave is too large,
then such a problem can occur. You may use another computer to test it.
Method 2: Check if the driver conflicts with other computer hardware
devices.

Question 6: Internet video isn’t as smooth as expected
This issue is caused by two reasons:
1) The actual internet bandwidth is not enough and you are suggested
to modify the conference properties to decrease the video occupying
bandwidth or to reduce the number of programs running on your com-
puter.
2) Please check the computer CPU rate and if it is too high then please
decrease it by reducing the number of programs running on your
computer.
Question 7: Why does the system always ask me to install the driver
after I have already done that?
Because you plugged in DICOTA Contact before the driver installation.
Please follow the steps below to repeat the installation.
1. Unplug the DICOTA Contact from your computer;
2. Uninstall the former HAmcap driver;
3. Restart your computer;
4. Install the driver;
5. Restart your computer;
6. Connect DICOTA Contact to your computer and let it search the
hardware;
7. Restart your computer, and you should find it is ok now!
