Some laptops and some sound cards require a battery adapter to provide power to the microphone. Battery adapters are available from Andrea Electronics.
Some IBM Thinkpads can now use an inexpensive adapter to provide power to the microphone which does not require any batteries. This would replace the battery adapter that you are currently using. These adapters can be purchased from Andrea Electronics. Please be aware that these adapters will work on all models of the following families of Thinkpads: 380, 385, 560, 760, 765 and 770.
