Charging While Connected to a Computer
When AirStash is connected to a computer whether directly or
through a powered USB 2.0 hub connected to a computer, AirStash
will charge and can be simultaneously accessed as a USB drive (see
“Computer USB Access”). Note that the AirStash wireless
connection will turn off when AirStash connects to a computer.
If you are using a USB hub, verify that the hub has a separate source
of power before connecting the AirStash and that the hub is
connected to a USB port on your computer. If using a USB extension
cable, verify that it is USB 2.0 compliant and less than 3 meters (9
feet) in length.
Charging While Connected to a USB-­‐AC Adapter
When AirStash is connected to a compliant USB-­‐AC Adapter,
AirStash can simultaneously allow wireless access while charging.
To use your AirStash via wireless while it is charging, turn on the
AirStash before connecting it to a stand-­‐alone power adapter. This
is useful if you are accessing AirStash wirelessly and need to charge
without interrupting your connection.
Use only power adapters that are USB 2.0 compliant to ensure they
can supply a full 500mA to the AirStash.
Charging Procedure
When your AirStash is charging, the Status Indicator will slowly
pulse yellow until charging is complete. When charging is complete
the Status Indicator will turn off. After connecting AirStash to a
computer, hub, or power adapter, please wait at least 15 seconds
for charging to begin. If your AirStash is already fully charged, it
may not indicate that it is charging.
If charging does not begin within 15 seconds, check the port to
verify that it meets the power requirements of the AirStash. If you
are using a USB hub to charge the AirStash, verify that the hub has
an independent source of power connected and that the hub is
