USAGE NOTES
The owe Slim is a bus-powered device meaning the host can power the optical drive. The included USB ‘Y’ cable (Micro-B to dual Type-A) needs to be used for the owe Slim to receive enough power to function. Connect the Micro-B plug to the owe Slim and connect both USB Type-A plugs into the host. The owe slim can also be powered by an optional 5V /2A power supply through the DC In 5V power port.
