Targus Always On

Press the Targus Always On button to enable the black USB ports to continue providing power even when the laptop is powered down or disconnected from the docking station. This allows you to charge the batteries of any USB rechargeable accessory you may have connected.

Using USB Devices That Require More Power

Some devices, which use large amounts of power, such as printers and optical drives, should be plugged into the USB Power Ports. These ports will provide up to 1000mA of power - double the power on standard USB ports.

Product Limitations

Some devices may halt temporarily when a high data transfer is occurring. For example, your mouse may respond slowly while a graphic print job is printing or while you are experiencing heavy network traffic.

We recommend the following guidelines:

Do not transfer data to or from multiple high-speed devices, such as a digital camera or scanner, at the same time.

If speed degradation does occur, close other programs that use a USB device to improve device performance.
