The NotePal can take a mini or a micro USB connection for power. So if you have a USB wall adapter, like for a mobile phone, then in theory you should be able to use AC power with the device. It does come with a Micro USB cord, though it is very short. But it does not come with a wall adapter, so you'll have to find one to use with it.

Unfortunately, no, the power plug that comes with the pad hooks only into a usb port so you would have to get an adapter.

Yes you can run it on AC power! If it doesn't come with a plug in the box (some companies include them), a quick trip to Radioshack for a 5VDC plug will power the entire thing, I use mine to charge my phone and tablet. It won't handle Samsung's 2.1 amp "fast" charge requirements, but all you do is power the device off and plug it in.

No sadly it can't be powered by USB. You have to either use the AC adapter or use 4 AA batteries.

Yes, there is a USB port on the device which will supply ample power to usb devices. I am using the 12 volt output to power a small Amateur Radio. (Approximately 2amps through the 12v output) The 5v USB out should handle everything, even tablets.

AC adapter is not included in the package. You can find a matching AC adapter easily at local electronics retailers such as Radio Shack. USB ports in typical USB hub provides 500mA of power only. It is ideal for low-power USB devices such as flash drives, mice and keyboard. USB Hub is not ideal to charge devices such as smartphone (1A minimum power requirement) or tablet (2.1A minimum power requirement).

Hello: Oh yes, I think I can help you. I did not like the adapter that came with the tablet, below was my search & purchase. Key features are: 3.5 mm plug & 2000mA (AC Power Adapter for 3.5mm DC 5V 2000mA Output Supply for External Devices) After receiving your needed item, let me know how how I did, "You Are The Man" will do just fine. Good luck

Yes, you can use either the adapter or the USB cord to get power.I use it to conserve USB ports.

I just checked the instructions that came with the unit. It states that you can charge USB devices on AC or battery power but in order to save battery life the unit will cease charging external devices if being played on a high volume setting during battery operation. Hope that helps. ;)

I believe it can run off a USB but no AC adaptor cane with it.... I do paranormal investigating and I like this cam for my investigations (With extra IR and full spectrum lights)

Yes, I used the adapter that came with my tablet. You can also use any usb port to charge the tablet as well because I have and it hasn't seemed to bother it.

Yes, this comes with an ac adaptor to charge the tablet through it's charging port. The tablet can also be charged through its micro-USB port, but that takes long than charging through the AC port.

It most likely will charge your tablet though, depending on the current output of your computer's USB port, it may take somewhat longer than plugging it in to an AC adapter with a USB connection. The voltage output of USB ports is fairly uniform at about 5v so it should not harm the tablet by doing so.

I'm not sure you even can use it with a tablet. It does only come with a standard USB and it does have a fairly high power consumption.

No ac adaptor required but the USB connector is very short. . Matter of inches. ... For the money you will nota better product though. .. Best buy and simular stores want 25 and up fora comparable unit.

yes, you can run the tablet and it will charge if plugged into the DC power, OR the USB cable. I often use the USB for charging, it works with tablet on of off. If you load the music player, and set the volume, then do a quick press of the power switch it goes into hibernation, but leaves the music playing. Photo slideshow is rather UN fantastic, maybe there is an app that does a full screen slideshow, but the viewer installed rather sucks. :-)

Yes USB uses 5V 1A. To Charge tablets, iPad, etc., sometimes make sure that the output is 5V 2.1 amp, higher the amperage, better charging time.

Works great. No power required. Adapter is not included. I wonder if powered, will it charge a note 10.1 tablet

I would think most any USB charger should do, it is a standard micro-USB port. I don't recall if it came with an AC adapter or not, but any USB charger should work fine.
