• Never unplug the power adaptor from the mains socket by pulling on the cable;
always use the grips on the plug.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched, kinked or
damaged by sharp edges.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them.
This poses a risk of injury.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adaptor from the mains socket during
storms.
• If the power adaptor is visibly damaged, do not touch it. Risk of fatal injury due to
electric shock! First turn off the power supply to the power outlet that the power
adaptor is connected to (flip off the fuse and then turn off the residual current
operated circuit breaker to disconnect the power outlet at all phases). Now
unplug the device from the power outlet. Dispose of the power adaptor in an
environmentally friendly fashion, discontinue use of it immediately. Replace it with
an identical power adaptor.
• The adaptor corresponds to Safety Class II. Only a proper mains socket (230 V/
AC, 50 Hz) of the public supply net must be used as voltage source.
• Pull the adaptor out of the power outlet when the product will not be in use for
longer periods of time.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room
into a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy the product. Allow
the product to reach room temperature before connecting it and putting it to use.
This may take several hours. Allow the device to reach room temperature before
connecting and using it. This may take several hours.
•
Never pour any liquids over electrical devices or put objects filled with liquid
right next to the device. If liquid or an object enters the interior of the device
nevertheless, first power down the respective socket (e.g. switch off circuit
breaker) and then pull the mains plug from the mains socket. Do not operate the
product anymore afterwards, but take it to a specialist workshop.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the
appliance.
•
Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician
or an authorised repair centre.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
Operation
When using without an adaptor in a USB 3.0 port:
Ensure that the entire current consumption of all connected USB devices does not
exceed 900 mA.
• Connect the USB hub via the USB cable to a free USB port of your computer (it does not
need to be switched off). The power indicator light of the adaptor goes on.
• Connect the low-voltage plug of the adaptor with the DC socket of the USB hub.
• Connect the adaptor to a suitable power outlet.
• Windows recognizes the new hardware and automatically installs the drivers. The drivers are
available in Windows, therefore no driver storage medium is provided.
• Now connect your USB device to a USB port of the USB hub.
When powering the USB hub using the supplied adaptor, a higher current is
available in each USB port of the USB hub. This higher current is required for some
USB devices. For further information, refer to the instruction manual for your USB
device.
When connected to a USB 2.0 port, the supplied adaptor must be used. When
connecting to a USB 3.0 port, the USB hub can be operated without the supplied
adaptor. In this case, the USB hub operates in the so-called “bus-powered mode”.
This means that the current supplied by the computer via USB (for USB 3.0, the
standard is 900 mA) is distributed over seven ports.
This is sufficient e.g. for most mouse controllers or keyboards, however many other
devices would not function properly (such as e.g. external hard disks, card reading
devices, USB cameras, etc.).
Should you notice that a device connected to the USB hub is not functioning properly
or is not recognized, operate the USB hub using the adaptor.
Care and cleaning
• Prior to each cleaning, pull the adaptor out of the power outlet, disconnect the USB hub from
the computer and disconnect all devices connected to the USB hub.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as
they can cause damage to the housing and malfunctioning.
•
To clean the product, a dry, soft and clean cloth is sufficient. Do not press too hard on the
housing, since this can lead to scratch marks.
• You can easily remove dust using a long-haired, soft and clean brush.
