Tips and notes

• The USB 3.0 hub is USB 2.0/1.1 compatible. This means that conventional USB 2.0/1.1
devices can be operated through the USB 3.0 hub without problems. That, however, will not
make USB 2.0/1.1 devices any faster!
• In order to take advantage of the high speed of the USB 3.0, all devices must support the
USB 3.0 interface: The USB device itself (e.g. an external hard disk), the USB hub and the
USB controller in the computer.
• The theoretical maximum speed of USB 3.0 (or USB 2.0/1.1) cannot be reached during
real operation. Reasons for that can be protocol information, the simultaneous operation of
several USB devices or speed limitations of the connected USB device or USB controller/
mainboard.
• DOS and the Windows Safe Mode do not support USB operation. Depending on the computer
or BIOS/setup settings, the use of a USB keyboard or USB mouse is still possible. This,
however, might require the USB keyboard or mouse to be connected to the USB interfaces
of the computer directly rather than to the USB hub itself.
• USB devices can be connected and disconnected during use. It is not necessary to switch off
your computer when connecting or disconnecting devices.
• When disconnecting a USB device during an active data transfer (e.g. when transferring
data from an external disk to the computer), the operating system might collapse. It could
furthermore cause data loss or even damage to the file system on the external drive.
• For Windows® XP, Vista™, 7 and 8, the menu bar displays an icon with arrowhead when
certain USB devices (e.g. USB hard disk) are connected. Use this icon to "disconnect" the
USB device from the computer. It is then safe to unplug the USB device.
• To connect USB 3.0 devices, only use the USB 3.0 cable intended for this purpose. Note that
the use of very long USB 3.0 cables could slow down the data transmission rate.

Maintenance and cleaning

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical
solutions as they can cause damage to the housing and malfunctioning.
• Disconnect the USB hub from the computer and power adaptor before cleaning.
• Do not immerse the USB hub in water.
• Have maintenance and repairs done by qualified experts or repair shops only. There are
no components located inside the product you need to maintain. Never open/dismantle the
product.
• To clean the product, a dry, soft and clean cloth is sufficient. Do not apply too much pressure
to the housing as this may cause scratch marks.
• Use a longhaired, soft and clean brush and a vacuum cleaner to easily remove dust.
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.
