Subject: Re: [AN1x] Power Supply

From: "Gerry" <tam_ger@...>

The thing to watch for with power supplies is loaded and unloaded
voltage, also does the power supply have a high enough amperage
rating.

Eg a typical phone power supply will be 100ma 9V. Guess what you
get when you attach a multimeter.....13-18VOLTS!!! The above rating
is a loaded rating.

I would strongly suggest you use the original equipment power
supply...Hey i have a brand new one (I received one extra by
accident whe i ordered my AN1x), you can have it for $20

Thanks and good luck.

PS I fried a $900 Kodak digital camera by using a universal power
supply, the volts were ok but the amps were inadequate, that sucker
needed 1amp at 6v dc. It's not worth it to lose expensive gear.
