You can connect your iPad to a commercially available USB AC adaptor to use the iPad while it is charging.


Required items

(1) Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter

(2) USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable

  • Do not use a USB cable that is designed only for charging a device. Charge-only cables cannot transmit data.

(3) USB Type-A to Lightning cable, or USB Type-C to Lightning cable

  • Have ready a cable that matches the shape of the port on your USB AC adaptor.
  • The included USB Type-C to Lightning cable cannot be used for this.

(4) USB AC adaptor (at least 5 V/2.5 A)


Be sure to follow the steps below to connect. If you turn on the devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment failure.


  1. Turn on the power of the VRC-01 by following the steps in “Powering the Unit (Turning on the Power)”.


  2. Connect the iPad to the USB AC adaptor (commercially available) as shown in the illustration.

    • Make sure that the power of the VRC-01 is on when you connect your iPad.

    Once the iPad is correctly connected, the DEVICE indicator slowly blinks.


  3. Launch the AeroCaster LIVE app.

    • Make sure to connect the iPad and then launch the app.

    This lets you control the AeroCaster LIVE app from the VRC-01.

In some situations when you are using the iPad while it charges, the iPad remaining battery power might not increase and may even go down, depending on the type of USB AC adaptor you use and the usage status of the AeroCaster LIVE app.
