Charge function
The USB power output on the side of the USB3.0 hub supplies a current of up to 2.4 A.
Hence, not only smartphones can be connected here (they usually require a charging
current between 0.5 and 1 A) but also tablets with a higher current requirement (e.g.
iPad).
Use the USB charging cable provided with your smartphone or tablet to connect it to
the USB power output.
Since the charging electronics are integrated in the smartphone or tablet, the charging
process is controlled and completed by the smartphone or tablet.
Tips and notes
• The USB2.0 hub is USB2.0 and USB1.1 compatible. This means that normal USB2.0
and USB1.1 devices can be used without any problem on the USB3.0 hub. However,
this will not speed up the USB2.0/USB1.1 devices.
• In order to take advantage of the high speed provided by USB3.0, all the devices
must support USB3.0: The USB device itself (e.g. an external hard disk), the USB hub
and the USB controller in the computer.
• The theoretical maximum speed for USB3.0 (or also USB2.0 or USB1.1) is never
achieved in practice. This is due to protocol information, simultaneous operation
of several USB devices or the speed limit of the connected device or the USB
controllers/motherboards.
It also makes little sense to simultaneously operate 4 hard drives via the USB3.0 hub,
as these share the possible volume of data transmission between the USB3.0 hub
and computer.
If, for example, a lot of data is to be transferred between two USB3.0 hard drives,
connect the first hard drive to the USB3.0 port on the USB3.0 hub and connect the
second directly to a USB3.0 port on the computer.
• Normally USB operation is not possible in DOS or in the protected mode of older
Windows versions. Depending on the computer or the BIOS/Setup, however,
operation of a USB keyboard and a USB mouse is possible. Nevertheless, it is
necessary to connect them directly to the computer’s USB interface and not to the
USB hub.
• USB devices can be connected and disconnected during operation. You do not have
to switch off your computer if you want to insert or remove devices.
If data transfers are in progress on the USB port, e.g., if an external disk is inputting
data into the computer, and you unplug the USB plug, the operating system might
crash. Furthermore, loss of data or damage to the file system of the external drive
can be the result.
• With Windows
®
XP, Vista™, 7, 8, an icon with an arrow in the menu bar is displayed
for some USB devices (e.g. for a USB hard disk). With this function you can
“disconnect” the USB device from the computer so that no data transfer occurs any
longer. Afterwards, the USB device can be disconnected from the USB3.0 hub (or
the computer) without problems.
Maintenance and cleaning
Remove the product from the power supply before cleaning.
The product is maintenance-free. Repair or maintenance work must be carried out
by a specialist.
You can use a clean, dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Dust can be very easily removed with
a soft, clean brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use aggressive, chemical or scouring cleaning agents, as this may lead to
discolouration or changes in the material on the surface.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the
household waste.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the
relevant statutory regulations.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the
environment.
