Getting Started
Powering the DP1
AC Power
✦The DP1 comes packaged with an AC wall plug capable of converting
100-240v AC to the regulated 12v DC required by the DP1. Currently the DP1 is
only shipped with the US-style wall plug. An adapter may be needed for this
power supply to work in your country.
✦To use the AC power adapter, plug the adapter into a standard wall plug.
Plug the opposite end (the barrel plug) into the DP1.
✦The DP1 will automatically power on, no need to press the power button.
This happens by default, but can be changed in the advanced settings menu if
you so desire.
✦The LED in the center of the power button is the indicator of the DP1ʼs power
status. Refer to page 6 for details.
Battery Specifics (v1.0)
• The SmallHD battery is a custom battery built specifically for the DP1,
designed to be a lightweight, slim-profile, mobile powering solution. The DP1
can be powered with any 12v DC regulated power source, but the SmallHD
battery is an excellent compact option.
!Whatʼs in the Box?
• The battery is supplied with two (2) power cables that connect the battery to
the DP1, and one AC wall charger.
• The short cable is for use with the battery bracket.
• The longer cable is for mounting the battery without the battery bracket –
basically for whatever we havenʼt thought of.

• (1) Mini-USB charge port (requires 17.5vDC in for charging)

10% battery life left.
• RED has two contextual meanings as well:
