When the Sleep and Charge function is enabled, USB bus power
(DC5V) is supplied to compatible ports even when the power of the
computer is turned OFF. USB bus power (DC5V) is similarly supplied
to the external devices which are connected to the compatible ports.
However, some external devices cannot be charged solely by
supplying USB bus power (DC5V). As for the specifications of the
external devices, contact the device manufacturer or check the
specifications of the external devices thoroughly before use.
Using the sleep and charge function to charge external devices takes
longer than charging the devices with their own chargers.
If the Sleep and Charge function is enabled, the computer’s battery
discharges during hibernation or when the computer is turned off. It is
recommended that you connect the AC adaptor to the computer while
using Sleep and Charge function.
External devices connected to the USB bus power (DC5V) function
that interfaces with the power ON/OFF of the computer might always
be in an operational state.
When there is a current overflow of the external devices connected to
the compatible ports, USB bus power (DC5V) supply might be stopped
for safety reasons.
When the Sleep and Charge function is enabled, the USB Wakeup
function might not work for compatible ports. In that case, if there is a
USB port that does not have the Sleep and Charge function, attach
the mouse or keyboard to it. If all USB ports have the Sleep and
Charge function, change to disable Sleep and Charge function. The
USB Wakeup function now works, but the Sleep and Charge function
is disabled.
Metal paper clips or hair pins/clips can generate heat if they come into
contact with USB ports. Do not allow USB ports to come into contact with
metal products, for example when carrying the computer in your bag.
Your PC has multiple charging modes so that many different USB devices
can be supported for Sleep and Charge function.

the external devices, contact the device’s manufacture or check the
specifications of the external device thoroughly before use.
