4. Setup

1. Identify Device Requirements: Before connecting, determine the correct voltage (V) and current (mA) requirements of your electronic device. This information is usually found on the device itself, its original power supply, or in its user manual. Also, identify the correct polarity (positive or negative center pin) and connector size.
2. Select Voltage: Use the voltage selector switch on the power supply to set the desired output voltage (e.g., 3V, 4.5V, 5V, 6V, 7.5V, 9V, 12V). Ensure this matches your device's requirement exactly.
3. Choose Connector: Select one of the 8 provided output connectors that physically fits your electronic device's power input port.
4. Set Polarity: The selected connector typically allows for polarity reversal. Adjust the connector to match your device's required polarity (e.g., center positive or center negative). Incorrect polarity can damage your device.
5. Connect to Device: Plug the selected and configured connector into your electronic device's power input.
6. Connect to Mains: Plug the Vivanco PAH 10 power supply into a suitable wall outlet (Type C/EF – 2-pin European/hybrid FR-DE plug).
