humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and
protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed
if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height
can damage the product.

Operation
1. Connect the USB A-type plug to a vacant USB port of your PC.
2. Turn on / off the hub with the switch I/O.
3. You can connect up to 4 USB devices to the hub.
4. The hub supports Plug & Play and hot-swapping (device drivers are automatically
recognized and the devices themselves can be removed while the OS is running).
The hub functions in "Bus-Powered-Mode". This means that the current of 500 mA
supplied by the computer via USB is divided among the 4 ports. The total current
consumption of all devices connected at any one time must not be higher than this
value.
Tips & notes
• The USB2.0 is USB1.1-compatible. That means that traditional USB1.1 devices can be
operated without problems on the USB2.0 hub. USB1.1 devices do not become quicker
through this!
• The USB2.0 hub can, of course, also be operated on a USB1.1 connection, e.g. if your PC
has no USB2.0 connection.
• An increase in speed in the data transmission is not possible here either.
• To be able to exploit the high speed (theoretically 480 Mbit/s, i.e. 60 MB/s), all devices must
support USB2.0 - the USB device (e.g. an external CD burner) itself, the USB hub and the
USB controller in the PC.
• In practical operation, the 480 Mbit/s are not achieved. Hardly any device (e.g. hard disk,
burner etc.) is in a position to supply data so quickly. Other causes also (e.g. simultaneous
operation of other USB devices, protocol information etc.) reduce the transmission rate.
• USB operation is not possible in Windows safe mode or under DOS. USB keyboards and
a USB mouse do not normally work. The BIOS/setup of your PC possibly has appropriate
support (could be called e.g. "Legacy USB support"). It is possible, however, that the
USB keyboard/mouse is to be connected directly to the motherboard and not on a USB hub.
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.
