Operation
Get a power supply
There are two ways to get power supplied for the device: Use 2 x AA batteries or from any USB port power supply (5V DC adapter, USB from computer, etc), by an USB cable (come with device in package) as below, if the DC adapter doesn’t come with, you can use any USB port 5V DC adapter in your hand, 500mA to 1000mA is ok. There is an AA/USB switch on the top of the device, please put it toh itton the right place according to the way of power supply. (E.g., switch to AA if you use 2 x AA batteries, or switch to a DC adapter)
There are two wrong ways of power supply.
- Use an AA battery, but switch to “USB”; in this way, both cassette and recording/ playback won’t work. Please switch to “AA” to get working.
- Use a DC adapter, but switch to “AA”; in this way, the cassette won’t work, but the recording/playback can work, and the indicator will keep on. Please switch to “USB” mode if you want the device to get to work. Once the power supply is ok, you will see the green indicator is on.
Plug in a USB Flash
