Registering Your Launchkey
It is important to register your Launchkey on-line using the Product/software Registration
details on the back of the Getting Started Guide. Apart from validating your manufacturer’s
warranty, you will also then be able to download the additional software that you are entitled to
as a Launchkey purchaser. The registration details also contain codes you will need to enter in
the on-line forms on our website to download the software, but before you attempt to do this,
warranty registration is required.
Power Requirements
Launchkey will normally be powered from your computer via its rear panel USB connector. DC
power will be supplied by the computer through the standard USB cable. We recommend that
you connect Launchkey directly to a computer’s native USB port, and not via a USB hub.
Launchkey cannot be powered from an iPad. When using Launchkey with an iPad, it must be
separately powered by an external, 9 V mains adaptor (AC-to-DC adaptor). When using this
method, please ensure that your local AC supply is within the range of voltages required by the
adaptor BEFORE you plug it into the mains. Please contact your Novation dealer for advice on
suitable mains adaptors if you are in any doubt.
A word about laptops:
When powering Launchkey from a computer you should be aware that although
the USB specication agreed by the IT industry states that a USB port should
be able to supply 0.5 A at 5 V, some computers - particularly laptops – are unable to
supply this current. Unreliable operation may result in such a case. When powering
Launchkey from a laptop’s USB port, it is recommended that the laptop is powered from
AC mains rather than its internal battery.
If this is a problem, Launchkey can be powered via an optional AC-to-DC 9 V mains adaptor,
which you should connect to the Power In socket at the rear (see page 9). Please
contact your Novatin dealer for advice on suitable mains adaptors if you are in any doubt.
