About the docking station ports
The two USB ports located at the back of the docking station are standard USB 3.0
throughput ports. When the docking station is connected to a host laptop, these ports
provide a trickle charge to a selection of devices.
The front USB 3.0 port is compliant with Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2 (BC
1.2), which means that you can use the port to connect and charge a device faster than
a traditional standard USB 3.0 port.
This front USB 3.0 port can fast-charge a connected device, even when the docking
station isn’t connected to a host laptop. When the docking station is connected to a
host laptop, the front USB 3.0 port functions as a Charging Downstream Port (CDP),
which has simultaneous charge and sync capabilities.
Charge a device
If you’re only using the front USB 3.0 port to charge a device, a connection to a host
laptop isn’t required.
• To charge a device, connect it to the USB 3.0 port located on the front of the
docking station.
Note:
The front USB 3.0 port can only fast-charge connected devices that comply with
USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2.
