Important instructions for the power supply
connection:
The PC Card supplies power to connected devices. The
maximum current available depends on the laptop
used. If devices that consume a large amount of
electricity do not function properly, it is a good idea to
use an external power supply unit.
Please note:
Use only switching power supply units with the
following specifications (we recommend Hama item
no. 46601):
• 12V DC current, at least 1500mA capacity
• Poles: outer negative (-) and inner positive (+)
Plug in the power supply unit and then connect it to the
PC card
before
inserting the card in the computer.
Caution: Failure to observe this warning can cause
damage!
