Troubleshooting

Device Not Working

•  Make  sure  that  the  device  is  fully  inserted  into  the  correct  port  on  the 

docking station.

• Plug the device into a different port on the docking station. If it still doesn’t 

work, test the device by connecting it directly to your computer.

• Verify that you ran the Setup or Install program for the device.
• Make sure that the device appears in Device Manager. For more informa-

tion refer to “Verifying Devices are Installed”

• Disconnect all devices from the docking station and reconnect them, one 

at a time. Check that each device works before plugging in the next one.

• Each USB port is equipped with over-current protection. Should a USB 

device draw more current than the USB port can supply, the port will shut 
down. To re-enable the port, unplug the device and go to 

Device Manager

 

or to the message in the system tray and choose the 

Reset 

option. You 

can then plug the device back into the USB port. If a shut down reoccurs, 
check the power requirements of the device.

Product Limitations

Some devices may halt temporarily when a high data transfer is occurring. 
For example, your mouse may respond slowly while a graphic print job is 
printing or while you are experiencing heavy network traffic. We recommend 
the following guidelines:
•  Do  not  transfer  data  to  or  from  multiple  high-speed  devices,  such  as  a 

digital camera or scanner, at the same time.

• If speed degradation does occur, close other programs that use a USB 

device to improve device performance.

Verifying Devices are Installed

You can view the devices installed on the docking station from the Device 
Manager window in System Properties. Right-click
