6. Installation
1. Plug the unit’s molded USB A male cable into the host computer. For the Isolated 4-Port Hub,
plug a USB cable to the Isolated 4-Port Hub unit and the host. (If you are using isolated 4-Port
hub, do plug 5VDC 2A power adapter)
2. The Power LED (Orange) will light on, indicating power is being received from the host and the
isolator is ready.
3. Plug the downstream device into the unit (Type A female connector). This USB cable is not
included. Or connect devices to the Isolated 4-Port Hub.
4. The USB Isolator is transparent to the host operating system and does not require configuration or
software installation.
Note: The isolators are USB bus powered. When the USB Isolator is connected to a high power USB
host port, it can provide power current up to 300mA to the attached downstream device.
Caution: Apply a DC 5V power adaptor to the power port of the Isolated 4-Port Hub unit once you connect
the USB devices need a lot of power current from their upstream such as USB hard drive enclosure, USB fan,
handheld game console, USB CD player etc.

Operating systems may
pop up to indicate an
issue.
1. Unplug the power adapter from the receiver,
wait approximately 30 seconds; plug the power
adapter into receiver again.
