Connecting the power
When using a computer (Windows/Mac)
Normally, when this unit is connected to a computer, it will
operate using USB bus power, so connecting a separate power
supply device is not necessary.
When using an iOS device
When this unit is connected to an iOS device, connecting an ex-
ternal battery, USB power adapter or other power supply device
is necessary in order to power the unit.
Connect an AC adapter (TASCAM PS-P520E), external battery
pack (TASCAM BP-6AA) or the genuine Apple USB power adapt-
er included with the iPad/iPhone to a USB cable (sold separate-
ly), and connect it to the DC IN 5V port.
External battery pack or USB
power adapter
CAUTION
i
No USB power adapter is included with an iPod touch. To use
it with an iPod touch, purchase a genuine Apple USB power
adapter (that can supply 5 V and a current of at least 700 mA)
separately.
i
Operation with other external battery packs and USB power
adapters is possible, but we strongly recommend using a TAS-
CAM PS-P520E AC adapter, TASCAM BP-6AA external battery
pack or the genuine Apple USB power adapter included with
the iPad/iPhone.
When using another external battery pack or USB power
adapter, be sure that the power supply device meets the fol-
lowing specifications.
o
Supplied voltage: 5 V
o
Supplied current: 700 mA or more
Using a power supply device when the specifications are
other than the above could cause malfunction, overheating,
fire or other problems. If anything abnormal occurs, stop use
and contact the retailer where you purchased the unit or a
TASCAM customer support service to request repair.

connected and then connect them correctly.
0
Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment
to be connected off (standby).
0
If possible, install all connected devices so that they are
powered from the same AC power supply line. When using a
power strip or similar device, be sure to use one that has high
current capacity in order to minimize voltage fluctuations in
the AC power supply.

* Note: When using an iOS device, you must also connect an
external battery pack or USB power supply to assure power.
Connecting with a computer
Use the included USB cable to connect the unit to a computer
USB 3.0/2.0 port. When the USB connection is working, the USB
indicator on the front of the unit lights.
CAUTION
If you connect this unit to a computer via a USB hub, for
example, audio signal dropouts, clicking noises and other
interference could occur due to the influence of other USB
devices connected to that hub. For this reason, we strongly
recommend connecting this unit to a separate USB port. Con-
necting USB keyboards and mice, however, to the same bus
should not be a problem.
