Here's a copied and pasted PM I sent someone explaining the R4 external power issues, using backwards adaptaplugs.
I powered it using a 9v Lithium-Ion DVD battery. Use that and get an adaptaplug cable and adaptaplugs "B" (for the end that connects to the battery) and adaptaplug "M" (for the R4 connection) from Radioshack.
One thing though, one of the 2 adaptaplug ends has to be put on in reverse polarity. Both the cable and each plug will have the positive (+) and negative (-) sides labeled. Just put onee of them on backwards.
It'll run the R4 for at least 8 hours, probably longer but I never tried...
