Panasonic Portable CD-Rom Player KXL-810A - Manual (Page 29)

Using the Power from a Computer
(through the Interface Card)_______________
If the supplied interface card/cable is used between the computer and player, you can
operate the player using the power from the computer (you do not need to connect the AC
adaptor or install the alkaline batteries/rechargeable battery). The power from the com­
puter is automatically supplied when the computer is turned on, then “PC POWER” is
displayed on the player’s display.
Notes;
•The power switch cannot be used when the power from the computer is used. To
turn off the player, press for more than 3 seconds.
•Set the terminator to OFF {DSf P. 36), or Power from computer can not be used.
•Depending on the performance of computer’s power supply, the computer may not
be able to supply power to the player, if the power of the computer or player is
turned off or fails, or the other PC card is connected to the computer as well as the
supplied interface card, use the AC adaptor with the player.
•When blinking mark is displayed, immediately connect the AC adaptor or
use the alkaline batteries or rechargeable battery, othenwise the computer may hang
up.
• For the computer, it is recommended to use the AC power instead of its battery (the
battery of the computer goes low faster when the player uses the power from the
computer).
• If the power from the computer is used, approximately 0.5 W of power is consumed
even when the player is OFF.
Depending on the computer, power is supplied from it to the player even if the
computer is in the power save mode.
If the player is not going to be used, it is recommended to remove the interface card.
• Power from the computer cannot be used when the player is connected with the
SCSI board.
• It may take some time until the player can be used (“on” blinks).
•When you connect the player, Zip or Jaz and your computer with PCMCIA card slot,
power from the computer is not sufficient for the player. Use the AC adaptor, alkaline
batteries or optional rechargeable battery.
