When the Power Off and Charge function is enabled, USB bus power
(DC5V) is supplied to compatible ports even when the computer is
powered OFF. USB bus power (DC5V) is similarly supplied to the
external devices which are connected to the compatible ports.
However, some external devices cannot be charged solely by
supplying USB bus power (DC5V). As for the specifications of the
external devices, contact the device manufacturer or check the
specifications of the external devices thoroughly before use.
Using the Power Off and Charge function to charge external devices
takes longer than charging the devices with their own chargers.
If the Power Off and Charge function is enabled, the computer’s
battery discharges during hibernation or when the computer is turned
off. It is recommended that you connect the AC adaptor to the
computer while using Power Off and Charge function.
External devices connected to the USB bus power (DC5V) function
that interfaces with the power ON/OFF of the computer might always
be in an operational state.
When there is a current overflow of the external devices connected to
the compatible ports, USB bus power (DC5V) supply might be stopped
for safety reasons.
When the Power Off and Charge function is enabled, the USB
Wakeup function might not work for compatible ports. In that case, if
there is a USB port that does not have the Power Off and Charge
function, attach the mouse or keyboard to it. If all USB ports have the
Power Off and Charge function, change to disable Power Off and
Charge function. The USB Wakeup function now works, but the Power
Off and Charge function is disabled.
Metal paper clips or hair pins/clips can generate heat if they come into
contact with USB ports. Do not allow USB ports to come into contact with
metal products, for example when carrying the computer in your bag.
Your PC has multiple charging modes so that many different USB devices
can be supported for Power Off and Charge function.

the external devices, contact the device’s manufacture or check the
specifications of the external device thoroughly before use.
