Connecting your Sharpener
This automatic pencil sharpener will operate using either batteries (not included) or via a
USB port (cable included).
To operate using the USB cable, insert the connector into the rear of the sharpener
marked "USB". Insert the USB socket preferably into a mains USB plug or alternatively
into your computer USB port.

may not be as efficient to fully power the sharpener as it would be if the USB was
connected to a mains power outlet.
