IV. Power Mode Setting
There are two power mode options for the GE
Rotating USB 2.0 4-Port Hub.
The first is self-power mode (recommended),
which requires the use of the optional AC
power adapter (Available at Jascoproducts.
com). In this mode, each port is provided with
500 milliamps, allowing for additional hubs,
cameras and other high-powered devices.
The second is bus-power mode, which does
NOT require the use of the optional AC power
adapter. In this mode, the hub is provided with
500 milliamps for all 4 ports. This should be
adequate for mice, keyboards, and other low
power devices. If you are not sure or if device
performance is poor, use the optional AC
adapter. When using the optional AC power
adapter, make sure the plug is properly con-
nected to the hub and to a standard electrical
outlet. GE Surge protection is recommended.

V. Hardware Installation
Make sure your computer has all the nec-
essary updates required to support USB.
These can be found on Microsoft’s website.
1. Position the Hub as desired.
2. (Optional) Plug the optional AC power
adapter into the Power Jack on the
side of the USB 2.0 4-Port Hub.

details on ac power adapter use.
3. (Optional) Plug the optional AC power
adapter into a standard electrical outlet
or GE Surge Protector (recommended).

2.0 device cable into the USB port of
your computer. Plug the mini (B) type
connector of the USB cable into the hub.
5. Connect your USB devices to any of
the 4 available downstream Ports.
Note: If you connect the hub to a USB 1.1
Port, your computer may warn you that a
high-speed device has been connected to a
non-high speed port. Your hub will function
properly, however it will function at the USB
1.1 speed of your USB port.

IV. Configuración de la entrada de corriente
El Hub 2.0 giratorio de 4 puertos GE tiene
dos tipos de entrada de corriente. En el
primer modo (recomendado), autoalimentado,
el Hub necesita el adaptador opcional de
corriente (disponible en Jascoproducts.
com). En este modo, cada puerto cuenta
con 500 miliamperios, lo que permite que
se puedan usar Hubs, cámaras y otros
aparatos adicionales de alta potencia. En
el segundo modo, el Hub funciona con la
energía del bus y NO necesita el adaptador
opcional de corriente alterna. En este modo,
el Hub cuenta con 500 miliamperios para los
4 puertos. Esto es suficiente para ratones,
teclados y otros aparatos de baja potencia.
Si no está seguro o si el aparato no funciona
como es debido, use el adaptador opcional de
corriente alterna. Cuando use el adaptador
opcional de corriente alterna, asegúrese de
que el enchufe esté conectado al Hub y a una
salida estándar de corriente. Se recomienda
usar el Protector de sobrecargas GE.

las actualizaciones necesarias para poder usar
aparatos USB. Las podrá encontrar en la página
web de Microsoft.
