• 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 specifications.
• 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.
• 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!
• Connect the appliance to a wall socket that can be accessed easily.
• As power supply, only use the supplied mains adaptor.
• Only connect the power adaptor to a normal mains socket connected to the public
supply. Before plugging in the power adaptor, check whether the voltage stated on
the power adaptor complies with the voltage of your electricity supplier.
• Never connect or disconnect power adaptors if your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the power adaptor from the mains socket by pulling on the cable;
always use the grips on the plug.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched, kinked or
damaged by sharp edges.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them.
This poses a risk of injury.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adaptor from the mains socket during
storms.
• If the product is not to be used for some time (e.g. during storage), unplug the wall
plug transformer.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the
device.
•
Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an
expert or at a qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
Mounting
•
Put the hub onto a flat, horizontal surface or, alternatively, mount the hub with four screws
(not included) onto a suitable surface capable of bearing the load.
Operation
• Connect the USB A-type plug to a vacant USB port of your PC.
• Connect the USB mini-B-type plug to the hub’s mini-B socket. The blue LED lights up
indicating that the hub is now operational.
The USB hub can also be operated without the enclosed wall plug transformer.
In which case, the hub functions in the so-called “Bus-Powered-Mode”. This means
that the current (according to the standard, up to 900 mA for USB3.0 and up to
500 mA for USB2.0), supplied by the computer via the USB, is distributed to the 4
ports.
This is sufficient for e.g. most mice or keyboards, but many other devices may
not work correctly (e.g. external 6.35 cm/2.5” hard disks, card readers with
CompactFlash hard disk, USB cameras etc.).
In which case, power the USB hub via the enclosed wall plug transformer (“Self-
Powered-Mode”), each USB port on the hub will then provide a higher current.
If you notice that a device which is connected to the USB hub does not work
correctly, or is not recognised, operate the USB hub via the wall plug transformer.
•
If you use the power supply unit, plug it first into a mains outlet with suitable operating voltage.
• Connect the power supply unit’s low-voltage plug to the hub’s corresponding input socket. The
LED on the power supply lights up.
You can connect up to four USB devices to the hub. The hub supports Plug & Play
and hot-swapping (device drivers are automatically recognized and the devices
themselves can be removed while the OS is running).
Once you connect a data transfer capable USB device to the hub, the green status
LED above the relevant USB port lights up.
