1.Prise pour adaptateur externe – Si vous ne désirez pas utiliser la connexion USB ou les 4 piles de format « C » pour alimenter le Photon 25 il est possible d’utiliser l’adaptateur CA. (Utilisez un adaptateur 6 V CC, borne négative 1000 mA.)

2.Sélecteur de source d’alimentation – Appuyez sur le sélecteur pour mettre en position « IN » pour alimenter le Photon 25 à partir de quatre piles de format « C » ou d’un adaptateur d’alimentation externe optionnel. Si un adaptateur CA est branché et que des piles sont en place, c’est l’adaptateur CA qui sera utilisé.

Laissez le sélecteur en position « OUT » pour alimenter le Photon 25 à partir de la connexion sur port USB d'un ordinateur ou pour mettre l’appareil hors tension lorsque l’alimentation via un port USB n’est pas disponible.

Remarque : Lorsqu’un ordinateur portable est utilisé, il est recommandé d’utiliser les piles pour prolonger la durée d’utilisation du portable entre les recharges.

Insérez les piles dans le compartiment à pile situé en dessous du Photon 25.

3.Connexion USB – Permet de brancher un câble USB standard dans cette prise et dans le port USB 1.1 ou supérieur d’un ordinateur.

4.Entrée MIDI IN – Branchez un câble MIDI doté de cinq broches de raccordement à la sortie « OUTPUT » d’un contrôleur MIDI externe et l’extrémité du câble à l’entrée « MIDI IN » du Photon 25.

Si vous utilisez un appareil MIDI externe, l’ordinateur le reconnaîtra comme un second contrôleur MIDI.
