Powering DataPocket 

DataPocket is powered by the USB Port on your computer and in normal situations 
does not require external power. However, in some cases, your computer may not be 
able to provide sufficient power.   

Possible situations that may cause insufficient power are: 

 

Plugging DataPocket into a damaged USB Port on your computer that does 
not provide the standard power level. 

 

Plugging DataPocket into a USB Hub that is not powered by an external 
power adapter. 

 

Plugging DataPocket into a USB Hub that is powered by an external power 
adapter, but is connecting other devices with high power requirements. 

To correct this situation, there are two ways you can supply more power to 
DataPocket. 

1)

 

Plug the Power Only USB connector to a second USB Port on your computer 
while keeping the Main USB connector plugged in. 

Mini-USB
