Power
Switch

Up/On

Turn the switch up to power on the controller. To utilize shore
power, connect the controller’s AC adapter. It is recommended
to remove the batteries when using shore power, as the
batteries will continue to drain if they remain in the V-mounts.
If shore power is not connected, the system utilizes battery
power.

The V-mount batteries are not charged via Stencil

Pro’s shore power connection and should be charged with
the supplied AC battery charger.

Down/Off

Turn the switch down to turn off the controller.

CONTROLLE R CONNE CTORS AND POR TS

computer operations.

HDMI Port

The HDMI port can be used with the included Wi-Fi dongle to
connect wirelessly to the iPad.

Power Connector

The controller’s Power Connector supplies power to the Scanner.

Data Connector

The controller’s Data Connector supplies data to the Scanner.

Shore Power
