We recommend using the [official Raspberry Pi power supply](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-universal-power-supply/), which is designed specifically for Raspberry Pi. - - Low-current (~700mA) power supplies will work for basic usage, but are likely to cause the Pi to reboot if it draws too much power. They are not suitable for use with the Pi 3 or 4. - -### Optional - -- Ethernet (network) cable [Model B/B+/2B/3B/3B+/4B only] - - An Ethernet cable is used to connect your Pi to a local network and the internet. -- [USB wireless dongle](../configuration/wireless/README.md) - - Only required if you need wireless connectivity and are using an older model without built-in wireless functionality. -- Audio lead - - Audio can be played through speakers or headphones using a standard 3.5mm jack. - - Without an HDMI cable, an audio lead is necessary to produce sound. - - No separate audio lead is necessary if you're using an HDMI cable to connect to a monitor with speakers, as audio can be played directly through the display; but it is possible to connect one if you prefer to have the audio played through other speakers - this requires [configuration](../configuration/audio-config.md). - -## Troubleshooting - -For any issues during setup, search [the forums](https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/) for a solution.

The original Raspberry Pi used an RCA connector, and a standard RCA composite video lead will work. Others models (Raspberry Pi B+ and later) combine the audio out and composite out on to the same 3.5mm jackplug. This requires a particular type of lead, with audio left on the tip, audio right on ring 1, ground on ring 2, and video on the sleeve. This is the same as leads used on the Zune, and on Apple devices. - -![RCA cable](images/rca_connector.png) - -More information on connecting to a monitor can be found in our [learning resources section](https://www.raspberrypi.org/learning/hardware-guide/equipment/).
