Power supply.
The PHASE 26 USB System generally can be operated from the USB port without the
need for a power adapter. You should ensure, however, that the port you wish to use can
provide the maximal USB 1 power of 500 mA. Normally, all computer USB interfaces and
hubs that provide their own power provide 500 mA. If necessary, check the technical
specifications of your computer or hub to make sure. Hubs that are themselves supplied
with power by the bus cable provide a maximum of 100 mA per port, and therefore are
not suitable for supplying power to the PHASE 26 USB System (such as, for example, the
USB port on a Macintosh keyboard). In this case, you can use a common 9-Volt DC
power adapter that can supply a direct current of 300 mA to power the PHASE 26 USB
System (to be purchased separately). You may want to use an external power adapter
anyway, for example to save your laptop battery.
Plug in the USB cable.
Now connect the PHASE module to the USB port on of your computer and wait a few
seconds.
Windows now detects, one after the other, the following new hardware components and
launches software wizards to install their drivers.
