• It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g.
in bathrooms, must be avoided under all circumstances.
• The complete product must not become wet or damp. Never touch the product
with wet hands.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into
a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy the product. There is also
a risk of lethal electric shock! Allow the device to reach room temperature before
connecting and using it. This might take several hours.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• As power supply, only use the supplied mains adaptor.
• Only connect the power adaptor to a normal mains socket connected to the public
supply. Before plugging in the power adaptor, check whether the voltage stated on
the power adaptor complies with the voltage of your electricity supplier.
• Never connect or disconnect power adaptors if your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the power adaptor from the mains socket by pulling on the cable;
always use the grips on the plug.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched, kinked or
damaged by sharp edges.

This poses a risk of injury.
Version 09/13
• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adaptor from the mains socket during
storms.
• Do not place any containers filled with liquids, such as cups, buckets, vases or
plants, on top of or near the product. Liquids could enter the housing and hence
affect the electric safety. There is also a risk of fire or fatal electric shock! In such
a case, disconnect the mains supply to the mains socket (e.g. switch off the
circuit breaker) and then pull the mains plug. Do not operate the product anymore
afterwards, but take it to a specialist workshop.

expert or at a qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.

Operation

1. Connect the round low-voltage plug of the power adaptor to the respective socket on the
USB hub.
2. Connect the power adaptor to a common household wall socket. The LED on the top of the
USB hub lights up.
3. Use the USB cable provided to connect the USB hub to a free USB 3.0 port on your
computer. It is not required to switch off the computer.
If your computer does not feature any USB 3.0 interface (e.g. on the mainboard or
a USB 3.0 card), you may also connect the USB hub to a USB 2.0/1.1 port. Devices
(whether USB 2.0 or USB 1.1) connected to the USB hub, however, will then run at
conventional USB 2.0/1.1 speeds only!
4. Windows recognizes new hardware and installs the driver automatically.
5. Connect your USB devices to the USB hub.
6. One of the USB ports is located on the top of the housing. Bring the flexible flap to a vertical
position in order to connect for example a USB WLAN stick or MP3 player.
7. The USB port marked with a battery symbol and the inscription iCharge can be used for
charging an iPad. Note that this specific USB port must not be used with USB 2.0/1.1
devices, but with USB 3.0 devices only.
One USB 3.0 port can usually supply a current of 900 mA. The power adaptor
provided supplies an output current of 4 A.
For that reason not all USB ports of the USB hub can supply a current of 900 mA,
only a maximum of four USB ports are able to do so.
When connecting an iPad for charging to the USB hub, only two USB ports can
supply a current of 900 mA.
Since not every USB 3.0 device requires a current of 900 mA, more than two or four
devices can be connected to the USB hub respectively.
Make sure the total current draw does not exceed 4 A.
The charging current for the iPad is approx. 1.7 A to 2 A max.
