Targus Universal Laptop Docking Station

Global Suspend Mode

When your computer is in suspend mode, the docking station also
enters suspend mode to avoid power consumption. When your
computer wakes up, the docking station wakes up automatically.
Using USB Devices That Require
More Power
Some devices, which use large amounts of power, such as
printers and optical drives, should be plugged into the High Power
USB Ports. These ports will provide up to 1000 mA of power -
double the power of a standard USB ports.

Product Limitations

Some devices may halt temporarily when a high data transfer is
occurring. For example, your mouse may respond slowly while a
graphic print job is printing or while you are experiencing heavy
network traffic.
We recommend the following guidelines:
• Do not transfer data to or from multiple high-speed devices,
such as a digital camera or scanner, at the same time.
• If speed degradation does occur, close other programs that
use a USB device to improve device performance.

Troubleshooting

Device Not Working
• Make sure that the device is fully inserted into the correct port
on the docking station.
• Plug the device into a different port on the docking
station. If it still doesn't work, test the device by connecting it
directly to your computer.
• Verify that you ran the Setup or Install program for the device.
• Make sure that the device appears in Device Manager.
For more information refer to "Verifying Devices are Installed".
• Disconnect all devices from the docking station and reconnect
them, one at a time. Check that each device works before
plugging in the next one.
• Each USB port is equipped with over-current protection.
Should a USB device draw more current than the USB
port can supply, the port will shut down. To re-enable the
port, unplug the device and go to Device Manager or to the
message in the system tray and choose the Reset option.
You can then plug the device back into the USB port. If a shut
down reoccurs, check the power requirements of the device.
