3. Check the box for “USB Debugging” in the menu that appears on your right.
4. Click “Ok” to confirm.
5. Have the cable connected to the tablet in advance, but do not connect it to the computer yet.

1. Double-click the downloaded file.
2. Click “Run” to install PdaNet.
3. After clicking “Next”, click “I accept the agreement” to move forward if you agree to abide by the License Agreement.
