DA1 power options

The Trimble Catalyst DA1 antenna needs to be connected to a power source to communicate with your Android device. The antenna can be powered either with the supplied USB battery pack, or by drawing power directly from your Android device’s battery over the USB connection.

• To power the antenna with an external battery pack: Plug in the supplied battery pack (or any off the shelf USB battery pack) to the USB power connector on the DA1 antenna. Using this method, the external battery pack will power the antenna, and can also provide additional power to your Android phone or tablet.

• To power the antenna over the USB connection to your Android device: Your device needs to support the “USB On-The-Go” standard (USB-OTG). Check with your device vendor to determine if your device can support this workflow.
