Connection
Connect the USB Hub to a free USB2.0 port of your computer. In doing this, the PC does not
need to be switched off. The drivers are integrated in the operating system; therefore, there is
no driver-data carrier.
If you do not yet have any USB2.0 interfaces in your computer (e.g. on the
mainboard or on a USB2.0 expansion card), you can also connect the USB hub to a
USB1.1 port. The devices connected to the USB hub (no matter whether USB2.0 or
USB.1.1) will however only work at normal USB1.1 speed!
The hub functions now in the "Bus-Powered-Mode". This means that the current of 500mA
supplied by the computer via USB is divided among the 4 ports.
This is sufficient for e.g. most mice or keyboards.
USB devices with higher power consumption (e.g. external 2.5" USB hard discs,
card readers with inserted compact flash hard discs or similar) do not function
correctly due to their high power consumption (for ex. one hears only a soft click
coming from the 2.5" housing of the hard disc, the hard disc is not recognized).
Thus, use the computer's USB ports for devices with a higher power consumption.
Tips & notes
• The USB2.0 hub is USB1.1 compatible. This means that normal USB1.1 devices can be
used with no problems on the USB2.0 Hub. However, this will not speed up USB1.1 devices!
• Normally, USB operation is not possible in DOS or in the protected mode of Windows.
Nevertheless, depending on the computer or BIOS-/Setup settings, the use of a USB
keyboard and a USB mouse is possible. It is however necessary to connect them directly to
the USB interface of the computer and not to the USB Hub.
• USB devices can be plugged in and unplugged whilst the PC is in operation. This means
that you do not have to switch off your computer, when you want to plug in or unplug devices
(with other interfaces this can cause damage, e.g. if you connect or disconnect a PS/2 mouse
during operation).
If data transfers do occur on the USB port, e.g. when an external disk supplies data to the
computer, and you unplug the USB plug, Windows might crash and other data may possibly
be damaged too!
Some USB devices need to be properly ejected before unplugging to avoid data loss.
Care and cleaning
• Disconnect the product from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as
they can cause damage to the housing and malfunctioning.
• Clean the product with a dry, fiber-free cloth.
• Do not immerse the product in water.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the
household waste. At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to
the relevant statutory regulations.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the
environment.
