versions and platforms.
Depending on the PC model, the power-saving mode or screensaver might interrupt power supplied from
the USB port. Interruption of power supplied from the USB port will also stop the product operation and
might cause problems when power is later resupplied from the PC after recovering from power-saving or
screensaver mode. If the PC causes this problem, then please disable the power-saving mode and
screensaver. (See the PC operation manual to find PC functions and settings.)
(1) TG-CCD/TM-CCD series
An external power supply is required to operate the internal image sensor. Use the AC adapter that
comes supplied with the product.
(2) TG-cooled series
An external power supply is required to operate the internal thermoelectric cooler and cooling fan. Please
prepare a low noise power supply and connect it to the product using the connector that came supplied with
it. Use caution when turning on the power supply because an inrush current flows at that time. Table 1
shows the maximum current in steady state and typical inrush current.

When the cooling fan filter becomes dirty, replace it by following the procedure described in the product
operation manual.
Do not block the air intake and exhaust ports for the cooling fan during use. If the temperature inside the
product rises too high, the internal safety circuit acts to stop product operation. However, high temperatures
may cause a malfunction. If product operation stopped due to the safety circuit, then immediately turn off
the external power supply and disconnect this product from the USB port of the PC. Then, check and
eliminate the cause of the problem. Resume operation after making sure that the product temperature has
dropped to room temperature.
