The adapter did not come with instructions. What's the silver release button do? When do I use it? Any other tips I should know?

Unlike most lenses or adapters that use a button, the silver button on this adapter is not pushed down, it is pulled back towards the camera to release the lens. Took me a minute to figure that one out.

No instructions. The release button is to release adaptor from lens. The adaptor is very easy to use. Screw it on camera like u would do with lens, then screw lens on adaptor. There's an aperture knob to change aperture setting

The silver button releases your lens. Much like the button to release the lens on a camera.

I am sorry but I have not experienced a problem with the adapter. I would think Robinair would be able to help. Sorry.

Sean, mine didn't come with the adapter. I simply used an extra Boss type adapter that I had lying around and it works fine. It is an interesting and versatile little pedal at a great price, but it can get a bit noisy if you pile on the effects.

I just checked my son's game. The instruction booklet is minimal but there is an adaptor plug that seems fairly standard. His portable Sony DVD player adaptor worked

@brian there is a tiny release lever on the back of the adaptor which you push in.-vin

Well you have to program the adapter to work with you computer. You just have to plug it into your laptop one time to setup it up and from then on you don't have to plug it up into a laptop anymore (unless you are resetting it). As for your second question im not sure what you mean.

Keep in mind that the silver release is NOT a screw, but a button/slide tab. When in place, you'd push it down/away from the lens to release the pin that's holding it on the lens. Now that it's gone, you should still see hole where it was. You are going to need something very small, like a jeweler's screwdriver (smallest size Phillips head) or a sewing needle and you are going to have to have a pretty good light source. You'll need to try to get the tip of the jeweler's screwdriver or tip of the needle into the hole and search for the hole in the pin (it's there somewhere, but it might be up towards the lens). This will be tough, but you'll have to play at it till you can get some leverage on the pin to pull it down and away from the lens so you can release it. Keep in mind that the pin is spring-loaded, so it naturally wants to drive up and into the matching hole on the lens ring. This means IF you can get the pin to slide down, you'll have to hold it down while you are turning the lens against the adapter body to release. Like I said, this will be tricky and require some finesse. If you can't manage it, you will probably have to track down a local shop that repairs lens and camera bodies. They will have the experience and tools to remove it without damaging the lens. FYI: I am also no longer using this POS adapter. As others here have stated, it's poorly-made and has absolutely zero documentation. Sorry for your troubles!

I'd like that my answer be helpful, but I'll have to tell you that I bought this Adapter in error! The V's were OK, the mA's were OK, too; but I forgot everything about the plug tip, which was not the one needed! (Although it was my mistake, I've noticed that Adapter vendors don't pay too much attention to the tips! Hence, my [our] mistakes!) The vendor told me "no remorse", and I accepted it! - On the other hand, the Adapter looked all right to me, but I ignore its effectiveness! Henfry,

There's kind of a notch on the back, right below where the triangle is pointing to. In that notch is a silver tab. That tab has to be pressed down, or moved to the side. That will lift the tiny metal cylinder that locks into the lens and holds the adapter into the lens. I have a few different types of adapters, and they're all a little tricky to get off. But once you understand the concept of lifting that tiny cylinder up, it's not too hard to figure out how to remove them.

I cannot seem to get the adapter to work at all. There are no directions included with the product. Am I doing something wrong? I have just been plugging it in to my computer, MP3 player, etc, turning it on, turning on my headset, and hoping for the best. Nothing. I have tried all that in different orders too. Any suggestions? Anne

I have no way of knowing. Nothing is printed on the tip for me to read. All I know is that it is a perfect replacement for the adapter I was searching for online. When I entered the specs of the old adapter, this was the replacement given.

It did not come with my unit, but I didn't expect it. I used this adapter B00008ZPED (search amazon).

It's located in the back of the display. Unscrew and plug in. I haven't had any problems with the adapter.

I have had the same problem with mine and simply bought an adapter on Amazon for a few bucks. What is your country, I will give you the reference you need...

Usually you go to the brand name of the adapter's website to get drivers. You might need the model number. Alternatively, contact the seller of the adapter. If you get a zip file, you can open it with a free program from 7zip.com. If it's an ISO file, there is a free program for that, as well. Google "free ISO file opener" to find it.
