Introduction : Open Accessory■
Open Accessory support allows external USB hardware
(an Android USB accessory) to interact with an Android-
powered device in a special accessory mode. When an
Android-powered device is in accessory mode, the con-
nected accessory acts as the USB host (powers the bus
and enumerates devices) and the Android-powered device
acts in the USB accessory role. Android USB accessories
are specifically designed to attach to Android-powered
devices and adhere to the Open Accessory Protocol, that
allows them to detect Android-powered devices that sup-
port accessory mode.
Caution:
Please update your Android device to the latest software
version before using it.

NOTES FOR USERS IN THE U.K. AND IRELAND
The mains lead of this product is tted with a non-rewireable
(moulded) plug incorporating aA fuse. Should the fuse need to
be replaced, a BSI or ASTAapproved BS 1362 fuse marked or
and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on
the pin face of the plug must be used.
Always re t t he fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use
the plug without the fuse cover tted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being
compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and t
an appropriate type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off
plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted else -
where into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may
occur.
To t an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instruc-
tions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may
not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the termi-
nals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug
terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to
the earth terminal in your three pin plug.
