2.3. USB Port Wiring
This product can be controlled by connecting the USB (Type B) port from the main unit to the USB port of a PC.
Since this product conforms to USB Bus Power, it can be used without an AC adapter.
This product requires installation of a specialized driver for the PC before being connected to a PC via the USB.
Go to our PATLITE homepage (http://www.patlite.com) to download the installer.
*The USB cable is not included. Please purchase it separately.
Caution
• Do not connect the USB cables simultaneously.Failure to comply may result in malfunction.
• Do not insert or pull out the USB cables while the power supply is turned on.
• Do not bundle the USB cables with power supply cords when being used. Failure to comply may result
in malfunction from power line noise.
• Depending on the feeding power capability of the Main Unit or the USB port of the personal computer,
operation may become unstable. Use an AC Adaptor if this condition occurs.
• Use this product by connecting the USB cable directly, without the use of a USB hub. Failure to comply
may cause unstable operation.
• Do not use devices other than the connected device (PC etc) with the USB cable. If used in combination
with other equipment, it may cause malfunctions, resulting in unstable operation.
MEMO
• When installing exclusive drivers for compatible Operating Systems, etc., refer to the
instructions attached to the drivers.
• It is recommended to use a USB cable with a length of 2m or less. A cable longer than
2m may cause unstable operation due to noise from the surrounding environment.
