IEEE 1394a/b Combo Cardbus Quick Guide
Important instructions for the power supply connection:
The PC Card supplies power to connected devices. The maximum power depends on the laptop used.
If devices that consume a large amount of electricity do not function properly, it is a good idea to use an
external power supply unit.
Please note:
Use only switching power supply units with the following specifications (we recommend Hama item
no. 046602):
- 12V DC current, at least 1000mA capacity
- Poles: outer negative (-) and inner positive (+)
Plug in the power supply unit and then connect it to the PC card before inserting the card in the computer.
