Using AC Power
To begin using Ki Pro Quad, plug the 4-pin XLR on the supplied AC adapter into the XLR
power socket on the back of Ki Pro Quad. Then plug the AC adapter line cord into 110
VAC or 230 VAC (the supply is autosensing). As mentioned earlier, if you're using the
optional desktop mounting stand, you'll also use the supplied 90 degree power cable
adapter with the Ki Pro Quad AC adapter.

Using DC Power
To run Ki Pro Quad on DC power, simply plug a 3rd-party industry standard 12 volt
battery pack with a 4-pin female XLR connector into the power connector on Ki Pro Quad
(underneath unit). The battery should be capable of supplying a sustained 3.3 A (just like
the supplied AC Adapter provides). Such battery packs are available from a variety of
sources.
NOTE:
To operate Ki Pro Quad properly, batteries should not have voltage lower than 12 volts and
should not have voltage that exceeds 18 volts.
Ki Pro Quad is a low-wattage device so many batteries can power Ki Pro Quad for several
hours at a time.
In the event of sudden power loss, recordings that are in progress will not be written
properly to the media. Note that there is a "Low Battery" warning prompt that users
should take note of and stop recordings in progress if at all possible before battery
failure. Ki Pro Quad can sometimes manage to close the file before the battery stops
providing sufficient power, but this is not always possible due to the nature of some
batteries and the duration of some recordings. It is best to be mindful of remaining
battery life. The use of batteries with metering or remaining power indications is highly
recommended. For very long recordings, it is advisable to use the supplied AC power
supply instead of battery power.
