The product is designed for connection to a computer with a USB interface in order to provide
additional USB ports.

Safety Instructions
The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to observe
these safety instructions! We do not assume any liability for any resulting
damage!
We shall not accept liability for damage to property or personal injury caused
by incorrect handling or non-compliance with the safety instructions! In such
cases, the warranty will be null and void.
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modi
fi
cation of the product is not permitted for
safety and approval reasons (CE). Never dismantle the product.
• The product is not a toy. Devices operated using mains voltage must be kept out of
the reach of children. Therefore, be especially careful when children are around.
Use the product where it is out of the reach of children.
• The product is intended for use only in dry, indoor locations. No part of the product
should become damp or wet; never handle it if your hands are wet!
Wall plug transformers have the potential to cause a fatal electric shock!
• The product must not be exposed to extremes of temperature, direct sunlight,
vibrations or moisture.
• The design of the wall plug transformer complies with Protection Class II. Use only
a standard mains socket as the power source for the wall plug transformer.
• Use the USB hub only with the enclosed wall plug transformer.
• Do not pull the wall plug transformer from the mains socket by pulling on the cable.
• If the wall plug transformer is damaged, do not touch it; there is danger to life from
electric shock!
Switch off the mains voltage to the mains socket to which the wall plug transformer
is connected (e.g. switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the
safety fuse and then switch off the RCD).
You can then unplug the wall plug transformer from the mains socket. Dispose of
the faulty wall plug transformer in an environmentally friendly way, do not use it any
more.
Replace it with a new wall plug transformer with the same speci
fi
cations.
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, since it could become a
dangerous plaything for children.
• Handle the product with care; it can be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental
falls, even from a low height.
Connection
• Connect the round low-voltage connector from the wall plug transformer to the appropriate
socket on the USB3.0 hub.
• Connect the wall plug transformer to a mains socket. The power LED on the USB3.0 hub
lights up.
• Connect the USB3.0 hub, via the USB3.0 cable, to a free USB3.0 port on your computer (the
computer does not need to be switched off).
If your computer has no USB3.0 interface, then you can, of course, insert the
USB3.0 hub into a USB2.0/1.1 port.
However, the devices connected to the USB3.0 hub (whether USB2.0 or USB.1.1) will
normally only function at the conventional USB2.0/1.1 speed!
• Windows recognizes the new hardware and automatically installs the appropriate drivers
(these exist in Windows; therefore, no data carrier with drivers is enclosed in the delivery).
The USB3.0-hub is now ready-for-operation.
• Connect your USB devices to the USB3.0 hub.
Operation
• Every USB port can be switched on or off by a switch. Only the operating voltage is switched
off in this way.
If the USB port is switched on, a corresponding LED lights up.
• The USB port marked with a lightning/battery symbol can be used to charge an iPad.
Please note:
This particular USB port cannot be used for USB2.0/USB1.1 devices, but only for
USB3.0 devices!
• A USB3.0 port can normally deliver a current of 900 mA. The enclosed wall plug transformer
delivers an output current of 4 A.
For this reason, a current of 900 mA is not available at all 7 USB ports, but rather only at a
maximum of 4 USB ports.
If an iPad is connected to the USB hub for charging, only 2 USB ports can provide a current
of 900 mA.
Because not every USB3.0 device requires a current of 900 mA, you can, of course,
connect more than 2 or 4 devices to the USB hub. Just make sure that the total
power consumption is not higher than 4 A (the charging current for the iPad is at
most around 1.7 to 2 A).
Handling
• Use is permitted only in dry indoor locations. The product must not get damp or
wet! There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold room to a
warm one. The condensation that forms might damage the product under certain
circumstances. Furthermore, this could cause a lethal electric shock!
Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to the power
supply and putting it to use. This may take several hours.
• Any maintenance or repair work may only be performed by an authorised repair
shop.
• Check the product for damage before use!
If you detect any damage, DO NOT connect the product to the mains supply!
Safe operation can no longer be assumed if:
- the device shows visible signs of damage,
- the product does not function or does not function properly (e.g. a burning smell)
- the product was stored under unfavourable conditions
- it was exposed to heavy loads during transport
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is neither kinked nor
pinched.
• Do not apply force when inserting or removing the USB3.0 cable into/from the
USB3.0 hub, because the USB3.0 sockets on the hub can become damaged.
Such damage causes loss of guarantee/warranty!
• Avoid the following adverse conditions at the installation location and during trans-
port:
- Excessive humidity or dampness
- Extreme cold or heat
- Dust or
fl
ammable gases, fumes or solvents
- strong vibrations
• If the product is not to be used for some time (e.g. during storage), unplug the wall
plug transformer.
