Turning the Power On and Off
Power Supply
To make the CC121 active, connect the CC121 to
your computer via a USB cable so that the power
can be supplied from the computer to the CC121. To
activate the motorized touch-sensitive fader, you'll
need to also connect the AC power adaptor to the
CC121 and a proper AC outlet. Instructions for these
connections are given here.
IMPORTANT
Connecting the power adaptor to the CC121 and
turning on the power does not supply the CC121 with
necessary power; the power adaptor is merely an
auxiliary power source for the motorized fader.
1 Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch on
the rear panel is in the STANDBY position.
2
Connect the USB TO HOST terminal on the
rear panel to the computer by using a USB
cable.
Now you are ready to turn on the power. When
you want to activate the fader as the touch-sen-
sitive motorized fader, go to step 3.
CAUTION
•While the CC121 is turned ON, a Macintosh com-
puter connected to the CC121 via USB cannot
enter the power-saving mode (such as sleep and
suspended) even if you do not operate the com-
puter for a long time. When connected in this con-
dition, the CC121 continues to draw power from
the computer, even if you are not using it. Particu-
larly when the computer is under battery power,
you should make sure to set the [STANDBY/ON]
switch of the CC121 to STANDBY in order to save
power and avoid draining the computer’s battery.
NOTE
· The USB bus-power function can be used only when
connecting the CC121 to a computer directly (without
using a hub) or when connecting the CC121 to a
computer via a self-powered USB hub. This function
cannot be used when connecting the CC121 to a
computer via a bus-powered USB hub.
3
Connect the power adaptor’s DC cable to the
[DC IN] jack on the rear panel of the CC121.
