The High-Speed 4-port USB 2.0 hub provides an ideal solution to expand 4 USB 2.0 ports
from one single USB 2.0 host port. It provides a self power source (+7~24VDC from 3-pin
Terminal Blocks) to provide enough power on USB 2.0 buses.

1.2 Mounting
You can set up the HUB on an even base or mount it by means of one to four screws
(not included) on a stable base in the desired orientation.
1.3 Operation
•Connect the USB A-type plug to a vacant USB port of your PC ;
•Connect the USB mini-B type plug to the hub’s mini –B socket. The red LED lights
up indicating that the hub is now operational.
Note: The hub functions in “Bus-Powered-Mode”. This means that the current of 500mA
supplied by the computer via USB is divided among the four ports. The total current
consumption of all devices connected at any one time must not be higher than this value.
Alternatively, you can power the USB hub with the power supply. If the power supply is
used, then each port could be loaded with 500mA.
•If you use the power supply unit, plug it first into a mains outlet with suitable
operating voltage.
•Connect the power supply unit’s low-voltage plug to the hub’s corresponding
input socket. The LED on the power supply lights up.

1.4 Product Safety
•When used in conjunction with other devices, observe the operating instructions
and safety notices of connected devices.
•Only operate the device in dry indoor room;
•The product must not be subjected to heavy mechanical stress or intense
vibration
•The product must not be exposed to electromagnetic fields, extreme
temperatures; direct sunlight or dampness The product should not be used
immediately after it has been brought from an area of cold temperature to an
area of warm temperature. Condensed water might destroy the product. Wait
until the product adapts to the new ambient temperature before use.
1.5 Additional Information
•The USB 2.0 is USB 1.1 compatible. That means that traditional USB 1.1 devices
can be operated without problems on the USB 2.0 hub. USB1.1 devices do not
become quicker through this!
•The USB 2.0 hub can, of course, also be operated on a USB1.1 connection, e.g. if
your PC has no USB 2.0 connection.
•An increase in speed in the data transmission is not possible here either.
•To be able to exploit the high speed, (theoretically 480MBits/s, i.e. 60MByte/s),
all devices must support USB2.0-the USB device (e.g. an external burner) itself,
the USB hub and USB controller in the PC.
•In practical operation, the 480MBit/s is not achieved. Hardly any device (e.g.
hard disk, burner etc) is in a position to supply data so quickly. Other causes also
(e.g. simultaneous operation of other USB devices, protocol information etc.)
reduce the transmission rate.
•USB operation is not possible in Windows safe mode or under DOS. USB
keyboards and a USB mouse do not normally work. The BIOS/setup of your PC
possibly has appropriate support (could be called e.g. “Legacy USB support”). It is
possible, however, that the USB keyboard/mouse is to be connected directly to
the motherboard and not on a USB hub.

2. Notes, Tips, Warnings, and Safety
Note
The hub functions in “Bus-Powered-Mode”. This means that the current of
500mA supplied by the computer via USB is divided among the four ports.
The total current consumption of all devices connected at any one time must
not be higher than this value. Alternatively, you can power the USB hub with
the power supply. If the power supply is used, then each port could be
loaded with 500mA.
