Using AC Power
To begin using Ki Pro, plug the 4-pin XLR on the supplied AC adapter into the XLR power
socket on the back of Ki Pro. Then plug the AC adapters line cord into 110 VAC or 230 VAC
(the supply is autosensing).

Using DC Power
To run Ki Pro on DC power, simply plug a 3rd-party industry standard 12 volt battery pack
with a 4-pin female XLR connector into the side power connector on Ki Pro. The battery
should be capable of supplying a sustained 3.3 A (just like the supplied AC Adapter
provides). Such battery packs are available from a variety of sources.
NOTE: To operate Ki Pro properly, batteries must produce no less than 12 volts and no more than 18
volts. Ki Pro consumes only approximately 30 watts of power, so many batteries can power Ki
Pro for several hours at a time. In the event of sudden power loss, recordings in progress will
not be written properly to the media. Therefore, note when the “Low Battery” warning
appears and stop recording as soon as possible. If the battery stops providing sufficient
power, Ki Pro may or may not have time to close the file, depending on the nature of the
battery and the duration of the recording. To prevent power loss, use batteries with metering
or remaining charge indicators and stop recording while sufficient power remains. For very
long recordings, use the supplied AC power supply instead of battery power.
