Follow any prompts you see to complete the installation. This may take a few minutes. 1 With the home screen showing, connect a Motorola micro USB data cable from your smartphone's micro USB port to a USB port on your computer. Your smartphone should show in the status bar. Note: Make sure to connect the smartphone to a high power USB port. Typically, these are located directly on your computer. To change the type of USB connection if necessary, tap Menu > System settings > Storage > Menu > USB computer connection > Mass Storage. 2 Your smartphone and microSD memory card appear as two separate removable disks on your computer.
