Connecting the B050-000 to the Host System
Warning: The USB standard guarantees up to 500mA of power per single USB port. The B050-000 needs up
to 700mA current and therefore is not guaranteed to work on USB alone. However, most of the current USB
ports provide more than 700mA so that no external power is needed to power the B050-000. Taking more
power from a USB port than specified may cause damage to your computer and therefore we recommend
using the B050-000 AC adapter at all times.
