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 or 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 four 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 LIGHTNING 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 DEVICES THAT DRAW MORE POWER THAN A STANDARD USB PORT SUPPLIES.
