The Oxygen 8 may be powered by one of three sources: external power supply,
internal batteries, or “parasitically” from the voltage it receives from the USB
port. For the most consistent perfomance, we recommend using a power supply
or batteries, even when using the Oxygen 8 with your computer’s USB port.To
power from the USB port only, plug the Oxygen 8 directly into the computer’s
USB port, or into a powered USB hub.When using the Oxygen 8 in standalone
mode, a power supply or batteries must be used. Six AA-size batteries are
required when using battery power. When using an external power supply
(optional), it is important to use only a supply with the proper 9vDC, 500ma
rating.These may be purchased locally or through MIDIMAN.

On a PC:
You must be running Windows 98 or higher to properly use the
Oxygen 8
. Also, your motherboard must support USB or you will need to install
a PCI to USB host adapter to provide the USB ports. It is possible for a
motherboard to support USB and yet not have the physical port connectors
installed. A simple USB back panel extender can be purchased at a computer
supply store and can be installed easily to provide USB port connectors.

On an Apple Computer:
Your Apple must support USB with the built-in native
ports present. Standard iMac’s or G3/G4’s with USB ports will work just fine. A Mac
OS that supports USB will also be required.We recommend OS 9.2.2 or higher.We
cannot guarantee performance of device when using non-Apple USB ports.
