Introduction
Welcome to Belkin USB 2.0!
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Belkin Hi-Speed USB
2.0 Pocket Hub. The Hub provides four downstream USB ports that are
compatible with both USB 1.1 (low-speed and full-speed) devices, as well as
with USB 2.0 (high-speed) devices. This means that the Hub is backward-
compatible with all of your current USB 1.1 devices as well as the new
generation of Hi-Speed USB 2.0 devices. This may include such peripherals
as scanners, printers, mass storage devices, and high-resolution cameras.
The Hub is self-powered, which allows the cascading of devices with
additional hubs, so that up to 127 USB devices can be connected to a single
port. The Hub also provides a multicolored status LED for each individual
port, and a master power LED. For additional information, refer to the
Technical Specifications section.

1. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or surge suppressor. Plug the DC
connector into the DC power jack found on the side of the Hub.
Note: The Hub may be used without the power supply when connecting
low-power devices such as keyboards and mice. Remove the USB A cable
connector from its built-in storage bay, then plug it into the downstream port
of your computer, or downstream port of another hub (see Fig. 1).
Important Note: The Hub must be connected to a USB 2.0-compliant host
in order to function in high-speed mode (480Mbps data rate). If the Hub is
connected to a USB 1.1-compliant host, it will operate only in low-speed or
full-speed mode (1.5Mbps/12Mbps).
