USB 2.0 Ports
The four USB ports on the docking station function just like the ports on a USB hub.
Just connect any USB device to the docking station’s USB ports when required.
All the four USB ports provide power when the computer is either off,
suspended or hibernated. This means you can use the USB port for power
charging purpose.
The USB port supports hot-plug feature. You may plug and unplug an USB
device from the docking station at any time when required.
Some USB devices, e.g., printers and optical drives, require higher power to
operate. To use these devices, the power adapter shipped with the device
should be plugged into the device and the mains.

Prior to using the speaker/microphone connected to the docking station, you have

When the docking station is connected to your computer, the audio devices named
USB (Multimedia) Audio Device
are automatically installed and
may override
Windows default audio settings
. The most obvious effect is that your original
music playback will be re-directed to the speaker connected to the docking station.
However, it’s possible that users may want to use original sound card for music
playback and use the docking station’s audio ports for chatting via instant
messaging software (such as MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger or Skype). In
such cases users have to manually configure required audio device for each
application.
