Using an AC adapter (sold separately)
Connect a PS-P520U AC adapter (sold separately) to the unit's USB port.
AC outlet
USB-C plug
TASCAM PS-P520U (sold separately)
Type-A to Type-C cable
included with PS-P520U
CAUTION
o
We highly recommend using the AC adapter designed for use with
this unit (PS-P520U sold separately). When using another external
power supply device, use one with the following specifications.
o
Supplied voltage: 5 V
o
Supplied current: 1.5A or more
Using a power supply device with specifications other than the above
could cause malfunction, overheating, fire or other problems.
If trouble should occur, stop using the unit and contact the retailer
where you purchased it or a TASCAM customer support service to
request repair.
o
Noise may occur when recording with a microphone if the unit is
too close to the AC adapter. In such a case, keep sufficient distance
between the AC adapter and the unit.
NOTE
o
If an external power supply that provides current less than 1.5 A
is connected, POWER SAVE MODE will be activated automatically,
restricting some functions. (“Power saving (energy conservation)
mode” on page 74)
o
When an external power supply is connected, power from it will be
used even if batteries are also installed.
Using USB bus power
Use the supplied USB cable to connect the unit and the computer as
illustrated below.
Computer
USB cable
USB Type-C port
NOTE
o
If a computer is going to be used only to supply power, a driver does
not need to be installed.
o
We recommend connecting it to a USB Type-C port on a computer or
other device.
o
If the unit is connected to a USB 2.0/3.0/3.1 port, the power supplied
will be insufficient, and POWER SAVE MODE will be activated auto-
matically, restricting some functions. (“Power saving (energy conser-
vation) mode” on page 74)
