There may be several reasons why you're unable to connect the GemCam to your computer:
- USB Connectivity
Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both your computer and the GemCam.
- USB Port Connection
Check the USB-C port for good connectivity. If necessary, try a different USB-C port.
- Power Button
Make sure the power button is turned on. When the USB cable is connected, this is indicated by a green light at the back of the GemCam.
- Using the right USB-C
Use only the USB-C cable provided with the GemCam. Using a different cable may prevent the GemCam from connecting.
- Restart Computer
Often, a simple restart can solve connectivity issues. If the problem persists, see the device-specific instructions below.
