Connect the Power Supply Unit (PSU) to the hub using the 4 pin Mini-Din plug. Connect the power
cable to the PSU. Making sure you adhere to local safety regulations, connect the power cable to the
100 – 250 VAC mains power outlet and switch the hub on using the small power switch located
adjacent to the power input connector on the hub. When the device is switched on, a green LED next
to the power input will be illuminated. The hub is now ready to charge attached devices.
Periodic inspections should be made to power supply cables and any USB cables for any signs of
damage. If any damage is found, replace the damaged cord before further use.

Once the power is connected, connect the ThunderSync3-C10 to your host system using a
Thunderbolt™ 3 cable. Using an incorrect host cable may result in the hub and all subsequent ports
not being recognised by your host.
