DGT smartboard

Is there nothing on YouTube?
I installed a usb board the other week. It was confusing which software to download. You need to download either the usb board or Bluetooth board manual from here and that gives installation instructions. www.digitalgametechnology.com/index.php/support1/manuals/e-boards.
Basically you install the rabbit plugin software from www.digitalgametechnology.com/index.php/support1/dgt-software/dgt-e-board-chess-8x8?mavikthumbnails_display_ratio=2
It will be the download from one of the top two folders depending on your board.

I think if you’re setting up a position you just set it up and place the kings down last. Possibly, the last king indicates who is to move, but I can’t remember. The kings to indicate the result isn’t really necessary unless playing tournaments but there’s a pdf in the manual section and also something in the faq on the site.
Here’s a faq on how to setup a position

Rabbit queen is concerned with getting PGNs off the board too your pc. Livechess is concerned with broadcasting games. Rabbit plugin is the software you need to use your board on the pc and interface with other software.

I bought the DGT smartboard to be able to record games played on it. So I can later download them to my pc with Rabbit Queen.
I had a lot of problems and the support from DGT was not helping.
To power the DGT smartboard I connect a USB powerbank to the board. But because the board takes only very little power the powerbank turns itself of. I attach a extra usb led light to the powerbank to avoid this problem.
Does someone knows a better solution? Maybe some USB powerbank that doesn't turns itself of when only very little power is used.
You also have to connect the DGT clock to the board with the little jack cable. Otherwise you get a lot of notation errors when downloading the games with Rabbit Queen.
I have emailed DGT support many time but I have to find out about this myself.
I have a DGT smart-board on order, and I am having trouble in finding documentation on how to use it, on the internet, the downloaded manual is vague, and the information on the software is scarce, something about livechess and RabbitPlugin and RabbitQueen.???
I found something on ending the game by placing the Kings in the middle of the board, but it didn't mention what to do if there are pieces already there.
Would somebody please give me a few tips on how to get started.
Thank You:
