TARGUS DESKTOP USB

2.0

-PORT HUB WITH

AUDIO PASS-THROUGH

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Targus Desktop

USB 2.0 7-Port Hub with Audio Pass-Through. This

desktop hub allows you to expand your desktop by

adding 7 additional USB ports with over-current

protection, and audio pass-through ports for easy

connection of headphones/speakers and a microphone.

The desktop USB 2.0 7-port hub also offers three unique

features:

1 High Power technology - provides twice the USB

specification for devices that require more power than

normal USB ports provide

2Targus Always On technology - provides power to the

USB ports even when when the computer is shut-

down, disconnected, or in hibernation/ stand-by mode.

This allows USB devices that charge via the USB port

to keep charging under any circumstance.

3Targus Easy Access Ports - USB ports are spaced

wider apart to accomodate larger USB adapters.

Connecting New Devices

To avoid possible damage when connecting a new

device, do not force the cable connector into the port on

the USB hub. If the cable connector does not attach

smoothly, turn the connector over and try attaching it

again.

Connecting a USB Device

To connect a USB device, plug it into a USB port and

follow the additional instructions provided with the device

or on your computer screen.

All seven USB ports meet USB High-speed

requirements, of which two of them are High Power USB

ports, with unique features. See “Targus Always On” on

page 11 for more details, and “Using USB Devices That

Require More Power” on page 11.

The standard USB ports, which are located next to the

microphone port and the High Power USB port at the top

of the hub, are high-speed ports that provide standard

500mA of power.

THE TWO USB PORTS WITH THE LIGHTING BOLT SYMBOL ARE ALSO HIGH-SPEED

PORTS THAT PROVIDE UP TO 1AMP OF POWER EACH. THEY CAN BE USED TO

POWER USB DEVICES SUCH AS HARD DRIVES, PRINTERS, AND EXTERNAL OPTICAL
