First, switch off the mains voltage to the mains socket to which the power

adapter/power cable is connected (switch off at the corresponding circuit

breaker or remove the safety fuse and then switch off at the RCD protec-

tive switch, so that the socket is fully disconnected from the mains volt-

age).

Then you can remove the mains plug from the mains socket. Dispose of

the damaged power adaptor/power cable in an environmentally friendly

way and discontinue use. Replace it by a power supply unit/ power cable

of the same design.

c) Operation

• This product is not a toy. Devices operated on mains voltage should not

be used by children. Therefore, be especially careful when children are

around.

Use the product where it is out of reach of children.

• The product is intended for use only in dry, enclosed indoor locations. No

part of the product should become damp or wet; never handle it if your

hands are wet!

With the power adapter/power cable there is also a risk of a potentially

fatal electric shock!

• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are neither kinked

nor pinched.

• Do not apply force when connecting the USB plugs. A USB plug ﬁts in the

USB socket only on one of its sides.

• Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold

room into a warm one. The condensation that forms can ruin the product

under certain circumstances. Power supply unit / power cable also have

an associated risk for electric shock!

Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to the

power supply and putting it to use. This may take several hours.

• Prevent the following adverse conditions at the location of installation and

during transport:

- Dampness or excessive humidity

- Extreme cold or heat, direct sunlight

- Dust or ﬂammable gases, fumes or solvents

- Strong vibrations, impacts or blows

- Strong magnetic ﬁelds such as those found in the vicinity of machinery

or loudspeakers

Connection and Start-up

• Connect the circular low-voltage plug of the power adapter into the corresponding

socket of the USB3.0 hub.

• Connect the power adapter to a standard mains socket using the enclosed power

cable.

• Connect the USB3.0 hub via the enclosed USB cable to a free USB3.0 port on your

computer. The computer does not need to be switched off.

• Turn on the USB3.0 hub via the round pressure switch; the blue LED Power lights up.

Upon ﬁrst use, the operating system will detect the new hardware and automatically

install the required drivers; they are already present in the operating system.

Please note:

When the USB3.0 hub is switched off, all USB ports as well as the two USB

charging ports are non-functional.

• Connect your USB devices to the USB ports labelled “1” to “13” at the USB3.0 hub.

When a USB device has been detected, the corresponding blue LED on the USB3.0

hub lights up.

Of course, you can also connect and use USB2.0 and USB1.1 devices on the

USB3.0 hub.

Depending on the USB device, the operating system detects new hardware and

installs the required drivers. Please refer to the operating instructions of the USB

device to learn how to do this.

For example, Windows already uses its own drivers for many devices, such as for

USB ﬂash drives, USB mice, etc.

Important!

According to the USB3.0 standard, a USB3.0 ports supplies a current of

900 mA (e.g. the USB3.0 port of your computer).

However, many USB3.0 devices only require a much lower current, e.g. USB

sticks. Other USB3.0 devices are powered by their own power adapter (e.g.

large USB3.0 hard drives).

One of the two USB outputs can provide an output current of max. 1 A, the

other max. 2.4 A.

Note that the power adapter provided therefore cannot supply all outputs

(USB ports 1 - 13 and the two USB current outputs) with the maximum pos-

sible current at the same time.

The output power of the power adapter provided is 60 W, of which about

59 W are provided for all connected USB devices (USB ports 1 - 13 and the

two USB current outputs).

Charge function

The USB hub has two USB current outputs:

• USB current output #1 (labelled with “1A”, red USB socket)

This USB current output provides an output voltage of 5 V/DC and an output current

of max. 1 A.

• USB current output #2 (labelled with “2.4A”, red USB socket)

This USB current output provides an output voltage of 5 V/DC and an output current

of max. 2.4 A.

The intelligent device detection allows the USB hub to quick-charge almost all

smart phones or tablets with the maximum charging current.

Use the USB charging cable provided with your smart phone or tablet to connect it to

a USB current output.

Since the charging electronics are integrated in the smart phone or tablet, the charg-

ing process is controlled and completed by the smart phone or tablet.

The two USB power outputs are only active when the USB3.0 hub is switched

on.

Tips and notes

• The USB3.0 hub is USB2.0 and USB1.1 compatible. This means that normal USB2.0

and USB1.1 devices can be used without any problems on the USB3.0 hub. However,

this will not speed up the USB2.0/ USB1.1 devices.

• In order to take advantage of the high speed provided by USB3.0, all the devices

must support USB3.0: The USB device itself (e.g. an external hard disk), the USB hub

and the USB controller in the computer.

• The theoretical maximum speed for USB3.0 (or also USB2.0 or USB1.1) is never

achieved in practice. This is due to protocol information, simultaneous operation of

several USB devices or the speed limit of the connected device or the USB control-

lers/ motherboards.

It also makes little sense to simultaneously operate 13 hard drives via the USB3.0

hub, as those will share the possible volume of data transmission between the

USB3.0 hub and computer.

If, for example, a lot of data is to be transferred between two USB3.0 hard drives,

connect the ﬁrst hard drive to the USB3.0 port on the USB3.0 hub and connect the

second directly to a USB3.0 port on the computer.

• Normally USB operation is not possible in DOS or in the protected mode of older

Windows versions. Depending on the computer or the BIOS/Setup, however, opera-

tion of a USB keyboard and a USB mouse is possible. Nevertheless, it is necessary

to connect them directly to the computer’s USB interface and not to the USB hub.

• USB devices can be connected and disconnected during operation. You do not have

to switch off your computer if you want to insert or remove devices.

If data transfers are in progress on the USB port, e.g., if an external disk is writing

data to the computer, and you unplug the USB plug, the operating system might

crash. Furthermore, this may result in loss of data or damage to the ﬁle system of

the external drive.

The same applies when you press the switch on/off button of the USB3.0 hub.

• With Windows

XP, Vista™, 7 or 8, an icon with an arrow in the menu bar is dis-

played for some USB devices (e.g. for a USB hard disk). With this function you can

“disconnect” the USB device from the computer so that data transfer ceases to

occur. Afterwards, the USB device can be disconnected from the USB3.0 hub (or

the computer) without problems.

Maintenance and cleaning

The product is maintenance-free. Repair or maintenance work must be carried out

by a specialist.

You can use a clean, dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Dust can be very easily removed with

a soft, clean brush and a vacuum cleaner.

Do not use aggressive, chemical or scouring cleaning agents, as this may lead to dis-

colouration or changes in the material on the surface.

Disposal

The product must not be disposed of in the household waste.

Dispose of the product at the end of its serviceable life in accordance with

the current statutory requirements; e.g. return it to any suitable collection

point.
