DON’T PLUG IN JUST YET!
1. Make sure you have the latest Windows Updates and Service Pack.
2. Run “Setup.exe” on the supplied USB flash drive. Alternatively, download and run the file from our
website:
www.peakelec.co.uk/downloads/dcaprosetup.exe
3. During the setup process, you may be asked to install .NET Framework 4. The installation files for
that are included and don’t need to be downloaded. Accept the Microsoft agreement and the process
will complete in a few minutes (sometimes up to 10 minutes).
4. Some systems may warn you that the driver is not signed, this is ok and it is fine to accept the
warning and proceed.
5. When the DCA Pro software installation is complete, you can plug in your DCA Pro to a
convenient USB socket. It’s best to choose a socket directly on your computer rather than a hub.
6. Windows should install the drivers automatically although it can take a minute or two. You should
see the driver installation activity in the bottom right of your screen.
7. If prompted, let Windows download the latest WinUSB drivers. That can take a few minutes.
8. After a few moments, your DCA Pro should chime and your software is ready to
use. Double click the new desktop DCA Pro icon and you should see the
“DCA Pro connected” message in the bottom left of the program’s window.
