[Elecraft] P3 SVGA Power Requirements

I have read the PDF manual as published at the Elecraft website and 
followed the P3SVGA threads here on the reflector am still unsure of the 
power requirements other than I'll need to connect it to a power source 
that supplies 700ma and the K3 aux only provides 500ma.

So, if I install the P3SVGA do I have to always use the power cord to 
the non-K3 12vdc power source?  In other words, can I turn the P3SVGA 
board off somewhere in the P3SVGA menu and subsequently use the K3 aux 
500ma power supply?

I ask because I could envision a situation where I'd like to have the 
K3&P3 and not necessarily an external monitor and power amp.  If the 
answer is no, then to be clear I would have to remove the P3SVGA board 
before I could use the K3 aux power outlet again.  Is that correct?

Thanks in advance.
