Part 5
When a RS232 (serial) interface model of PD-309 / 2605 is used, the jumper
on main board of the host system must be modified to supply power to the
COM port designated for PD-309 / 2605. Whenever the RS232 interface PD-
309 / 2605 is to be removed from the host system, consequently the jumper has
to be changed back to neutralize the power support COM port, otherwise
damage could occur
!
The USB interface model of PD-309 / 2605 should be connected directly to an
USB port and must not be through any non-self-powered USB HUB to get
power through the USB port itself and there is no need for other special
arrangement.
