According to the USB3.0 standard, a USB3.0 ports supplies a current of
900 mA (e.g. the USB3.0 port of your computer).
However, many USB3.0 devices only require a much lower current, e.g. USB
sticks. Other USB3.0 devices are powered by their own power adapter (e.g.
large USB3.0 hard drives).
The two USB power outputs can supply an output current of max. 2.4 A each.
Remember that the power adapter provided cannot supply all outputs with
the maximally possible current at the same time. The output power of the
power adapter provided is 48 W, of which about 47.5 W are available for all
connected USB devices (USB ports 1 - 7 and both USB power outputs).
Charge function
The two USB power outputs at the top of the USB3.0 hub supply a current of up to
2.4 A. Hence, not only smartphones can be connected here (they usually require a
charging current between 0.5 and 1 A) but also tablets with a higher current require-
ment (e.g. iPad).
Use the USB charging cable provided with your smartphone or tablet to connect it to
a USB power output.
Since the charging electronics are integrated in the smartphone or tablet, the charg-
ing process is controlled and completed by the smartphone or tablet.
The LED of the respective USB power output next to the USB socket is lit when a USB
device is connected and uses current.
The two USB power outputs are only active when the USB3.0 hub is switched
on.
Tips and notes
• The USB2.0 hub is USB2.0 and USB1.1 compatible. This means that normal USB2.0
and USB1.1 devices can be used without any problem on the USB3.0 hub. However,
this will not speed up the USB2.0/USB1.1 devices.
• In order to take advantage of the high speed provided by USB3.0, all the devices
must support USB3.0: The USB device itself (e.g. an external hard disk), the USB hub
and the USB controller in the computer.
• The theoretical maximum speed for USB3.0 (or also USB2.0 or USB1.1) is never
achieved in practice. This is due to protocol information, simultaneous operation of
several USB devices or the speed limit of the connected device or the USB control-
lers/motherboards.
It also makes little sense to simultaneously operate 7 hard drives via the USB3.0 hub,
as these share the possible volume of data transmission between the USB3.0 hub
and computer.
If, for example, a lot of data is to be transferred between two USB3.0 hard drives,
connect the first hard drive to the USB3.0 port on the USB3.0 hub and connect the
second directly to a USB3.0 port on the computer.
• Normally USB operation is not possible in DOS or in the protected mode of older
Windows versions. Depending on the computer or the BIOS/Setup, however, opera-
tion of a USB keyboard and a USB mouse is possible. Nevertheless, it is necessary
to connect them directly to the computer's USB interface and not to the USB hub.
• USB devices can be connected and disconnected during operation. You do not have
to switch off your computer if you want to insert or remove devices.
If data transfers are in progress on the USB port, e.g., if an external disk is inputting
data into the computer, and you unplug the USB plug, the operating system might
crash. Furthermore, loss of data or damage to the file system of the external drive
can be the result.
The same applies when you press the switch on/off button of the USB3.0 hub.
• With Windows XP, Vista™, 7, 8, an icon with an arrow in the menu bar is displayed
®
for some USB devices (e.g. for a USB hard disk). With this function you can "discon-
nect" the USB device from the computer so that no data transfer occurs any longer.
Afterwards, the USB device can be disconnected from the USB3.0 hub (or the com-
puter) without problems.
Maintenance and cleaning
The product is maintenance-free. Repair or maintenance work must be carried out
by a specialist.
You can use a clean, dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Dust can be very easily removed with
a soft, clean brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use aggressive, chemical or scouring cleaning agents, as this may lead to dis-
colouration or changes in the material on the surface.
Disposal
The product must not be disposed of in the household waste.
Dispose of the product at the end of its serviceable life in accordance with
the current statutory requirements; e.g., return it to any suitable collection
point.
