USB audio
The Parrot’s headphones are an extra output and the MIC or LINE input is an extra
audio input for the PC (when the Parrot is switched ON). So while editing some
audio on a notebook, the result can be monitored on your own professional
headphones. The mix of your own input signal and this return-audio is made with
the RETURN level adjuster (see section 3.3). The extra professional input can be
used to make good quality recordings on the PC.
USB mass storage device
The memory card inside the Parrot will act like a removable hard disk on the PC
(when the Parrot is switched off). The audio files with their markers can now be
used directly by any program. This also enables you to edit the settings inside the
.ini file (see chapter 8). Taking out the SD card and putting it in the PC’s card reader
has the same effect.
USB battery charging
The internal batteries are charged when the Parrot is connected to another USB
device that is capable of giving out enough current on the USB-power (up to
500mA, like any standard PC or mains adapter with such a connector). The Parrot
will limit the power used for charging, to prevent damaging the other USB-device.
Therefore charging the batteries will go faster when no power is needed to feed the
Parrot itself and so it is better to switch off the Parrot for battery charging. The
green LED indicates the charging status: fast-blink means ‘charging’, slow-blink
means topping-of (slow charge), occasional flash means ‘trickle-charging’, off
means ‘no power coming from USB’
