Safety instructions

Damage due to failure to follow these operating instructions will void the
warranty! We do not assume any liability for any resulting damage!

a) General
• T he unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not
permitted for safety and approval reasons (CE). Never dismantle the
product.
• Any maintenance or repair work may only be performed by an expert.
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, since it could
become a dangerous plaything for children.
b) Power adapter/power cable
• The design of the power adapter complies with safety class II. Only use a
standard mains socket as the voltage source for the power adapter.
• The mains socket into which the power cable is plugged must be easily
accessible.
• Use only the power adapter supplied to power the USB3.0 hub.
• Do not pull the power plug from the mains socket by pulling on the cable.
• If the power adapter or power cable is damaged, do not touch it; electric
shock carries a risk of danger to life!
F irst, switch off the mains voltage to the mains socket to which the power
adapter/power cable is connected (switch off at the corresponding
circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse and then switch off at the RCD
protective switch, so that the socket is fully disconnected from the mains
voltage).
Then you can remove the mains plug from the mains socket. Dispose of
the damaged power adaptor/power cable in an environment-friendly way;
do not use it any more. Replace it by a power supply unit / power cable of
the same design.
c) Operation
• This product is not a toy. Devices operated using mains voltages should
not be used by children. Therefore, be especially careful when children
are around.
Use the product where it is out of reach of children.
• The product is intended for use only in dry, enclosed indoor locations. No
part of the product should become damp or wet; never handle it if your
hands are wet!
With the power adapter/power cable there is also a risk of a potentially
fatal electric shock!
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are neither kinked
nor pinched.
• D o not apply force when connecting the USB plugs. A USB plug fits in the
USB socket only on one of its sides.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold
room into a warm one. The condensation that forms can destroy the
product under certain circumstances. Power supply unit / power cable
also have an associated risk for electric shock!
Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to the
power supply and putting it to use. This may take several hours.
• Avoid the following adverse conditions at the location of installation and
during transport:
- Dampness or excessive humidity
- Extreme cold or heat, direct sunlight
- Dust or flammable gases, fumes or solvents
- Strong vibrations, impacts or blows
- S trong magnetic fields such as those found in the vicinity of machinery
or loudspeakers
Connection and start-up
• Connect the circular low-voltage plug of the power adapter into the corresponding
socket of the USB3.0 hub.
• Connect the power adapter to a standard mains socket using the power cable
enclosed.
• Connect the USB3.0 hub via the enclosed USB cable to a free USB3.0 port on your
computer. The computer does not need to be switched off.
Upon first use, the operating system will detect the new hardware and automatically
install the required drivers; they are already present in the operating system.
• Connect your USB devices to the USB ports labelled "1" to "4" at the front of the
USB3.0 hub. When a USB device was detected, the corresponding LED at the
USB3.0 hub lights up.
Of course, you can also connect USB2.0 and USB1.1 devices at the USB3.0
hub.
Depending on the USB device, the operating system detects new hardware and
installs the required drivers. Please refer to the operating instructions of the USB
device to know how to do this.
For example, Windows already uses its own drivers for many devices, such as for
USB flash drives, USB mice, etc.
Important!
According to the USB3.0 standard, a USB3.0 ports supplies a current of
900 mA (e.g. the USB3.0 port of your computer).
However, many USB3.0 devices only require a much lower current, e.g. USB
sticks. Other USB3.0 devices are powered by their own power adapter (e.g.
large USB3.0 hard drives).
The USB power output can supply a maximum output current of 2.4 A.
Remember that the power adapter provided cannot supply all outputs with
the maximally possible current at the same time. The output power of the
power adapter provided is 24 W, of which about 23.5 W is available for all
connected USB devices (USB ports 1 – 4 and the USB power output).
