A USB 2.x connector on the PC supplies up to 200 mA.
A USB 3.x connector on the PC supplies up to 900 mA.
If several USB devices are connected to a PC or a USB hub without extra
power supply, the available current is distributed to several connections.
One device consuming a lot of power may cause other devices to receive
not enough power so that they cannot be operated.
• Operate the IDS WA-S Charger on the USB 3.0 or higher interfaces of
your PC.
• Operate only one IDS WA-S Charger per PC to avoid possible conflicts
with other USB devices about power resources.
