6-6. Making Use of the USB Hub Function
This monitor is equipped with a USB hub. It works as a USB hub when connected to a USB-compatible
external device, allowing the connection of peripheral USB devices.
●
Connection Procedure
1. Connect the USB cable between the USB downstream port of the external device and the USB
upstream port of the monitor.
USB cable (UU200SS)
For the locations of the monitor's USB upstream port, see
.
2. Connect the peripheral USB device to the USB downstream port of the monitor.
Attention
•
This monitor may not work depending on the used external device, OS or peripheral devices. For USB
compatibility of peripheral devices, contact their manufactures.
•
When the monitor is in power saving mode, devices connected to the USB downstream port will still work.
Therefore, power consumption of the monitor varies depending on the connected devices, even in the power
saving mode.
•
When the main power switch of the monitor is off, a device connected to the USB downstream port will not
operate.
•
When the "USB CHARGE Port" setting in "Preferences" is set to "Charging Only", a peripheral device will not
work if connected to the "CHARGE" port (see
•
Ensure that communication between all peripheral devices connected to the monitor and the external device is
ended before switching the "USB CHARGE Port" setting. When the setting is switched, all communication will be
temporarily interrupted.
Note
•
This product supports USB 3.1 Gen 1. When connecting peripheral devices that support USB 3.1 Gen 1, high-
speed data communication is possible (however, only when the USB cable used to connect the external device
and peripheral device supports USB 3.1 Gen 1).
•
The "CHARGE" USB downstream port also supports quick charging. This allows you to recharge your
smartphone or tablet in a short period of time.
•
If the connector for your external device is a Thunderbolt 3/USB Type-C connector, use a USB Type-C - Type-A
converter cable.
