It can be run via 9-volt battery, from an adapter, or, even when you're running it serialy, you can use the USB port for power. There is a switch on the unit for USB or Serial use. Mine is languishing somewhere, and it I find it I'll tell you the switch details.

I have no USB port, so must be firm on this before seeking one. I might add that I am not using windows either so again want to be sure it is still just a text to speech device controlled by one's respective program.
