Getting Started
1. Use the included power adapter to connect the USB hub to an AC power source.
2. Use the included USB 3.0 cable or a similar USB 3.0 cable to connect the USB hub to your
computer’s USB port.
In order for the USB hub to operate at maximum transfer rates, the hub must be connected
to a computer’s USB 3.0 port. Connecting to a computer’s USB 2.0 port will result in slower
performance.
3. Plug your USB device into an available USB port on the USB hub.
• For data transfer, plug the device into one of the blue USB 3.0 ports.
• To charge a tablet or a similar large USB-charging device, plug the device into one of the red
2.1 A USB ports.
• To charge a smartphone or any other small USB-charging device, plug the device into the red 1
A USB ports.
4. Press the power button on the USB hub to turn on the hub. The LED indicator on the hub that
corresponds to your device will glow, and your computer will notify you that new hardware has
been detected.
Before unplugging your USB device, make sure to follow your computer’s proper procedure
for safely removing hardware. You can also plug USB devices into the hub with its power on.
