Abstract
This electronic device includes connector to which an external device is connected via a communication cable, controller, and output unit. Connector includes at least first and second pins. A predetermined voltage is supplied from the external device to the first pin. Controller includes a communication unit to which a signal is input from the external device via a pin other than the first and second pins of connector, and outputs, when the communication unit is in an activated state, a first signal indicating the activated state. Output unit outputs, when the first signal has not been output, a detection signal indicating that a connection has not been established with the external device to the external device via the second pin.
