• Connect your USB devices to the USB ports on the USB hub. When a device is
recognised, the green LED turns on next to the corresponding USB port. Depending
on the USB device, the operating system recognises the new hardware and installs
the necessary drivers. Refer to the instruction manual for the USB device for more
information. For many devices, some operating systems (e.g. Windows) use their
own drivers, e.g. for USB memory sticks and USB mouses.
The USB hub can be used without an external power supply. In this case the
hub operates in "bus-powered mode". This means that the current provided
by the computer via USB (500 mA for USB 2.0) is divided between all of the
ports. This is sufficient for most USB memory sticks, mouses or keyboards,
but many other devices may not work properly (e.g. external 6.35 cm/2.5"
hard drives, card readers with a CompactFlash card slot and USB cameras).
Using an external power source to power the USB hub ("self-powered
mode") provides a higher current to each of the USB ports. If a device
connected to the USB hub does not work properly or is not recognised,
power the USB hub using an external power supply that conforms to the
"Technical data" for the product.
Tips
• The USB hub is compatible with USB 1.1. This means that conventional USB 1.1
devices can be operated using the USB 2.0 hub. However, the data transfer speed
for USB 1.1 devices will not increase.
• It is not possible to use the USB ports in DOS or in Windows Safe Mode. However,
depending on the computer or the BIOS/setup settings it may be possible to use
a USB keyboard and USB mouse. In order to do so, these may need to be directly
connected to the USB ports on the computer and not to a USB hub.
• USB devices may be inserted and removed when the computer is on. This means
that you do not need to turn off your computer if you wish to insert or remove devices
(this can lead to damage for other types of ports, e.g. when inserting or removing a
PS/2 mouse when the computer is on). However, removing the USB plug when you
are transferring data via the USB port (e.g. when an external hard drive is sending
data to the computer) may cause the operating system to crash, result in data loss
or even damage the file system on the external hard drive!
• On Windows 7, a symbol with an arrow will appear in the menu bar for some
USB devices (e.g. USB hard drive). You can use this function to disconnect the
USB device from the computer - i.e. tell the computer to close any open files. The
USB device can then be safely removed.
• Note that the data transmission rate may be lower when using very long USB 2.0
cables.
Maintenance and cleaning
Never use aggressive and abrasive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other
chemical solutions, as these could damage the casing or even impair the
functioning of the product.
• You do not need to carry out maintenance work on the product. Under no
circumstances should you service any of the components in the interior of the
product, therefore never open it.
• Disconnect the USB cable from the product before cleaning.
• If the external power supply is connected, unplug it from the mains before cleaning
the hub. Disconnect the product from the screw terminal.
• A dry, soft and clean cloth is sufficient for cleaning the exterior. Do not press too
hard on the casing as this can lead to scratch marks.
• Dust can be easily removed using a soft and clean long-haired brush.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the
household waste.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the
relevant statutory regulations.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the
environment.
