# My M300XL is not recognized when I connect it to my PC through the on-frame battery pod. What do I do?

In order to connect your M300XL to a PC, you must connect the USB cable directly to the main unit and not through the on-frame battery pod. The USB Micro-B port on the M300XL battery pod does not provide data pass-through to the main unit.
