Connecting Universal Serial Bus (USB) compliant peripherals

Your monitor has one upstream and four downstream USB connectors. They provide a fast and easy way to connect USB compliant peripheral devices (such as keyboards, mice, printers and scanners) to your computer using a standardized USB cable. To use your monitor as a hub for your peripheral devices, connect the USBs as illustrated below.

Notes

Not all computers and /or operating systems support USB configurations. Check your computer’s instruction manual to see if you can connect USB devices.

In most cases, USB driver software needs to be installed on the host computer. Refer to the peripheral device’s instruction manual for further details.

The monitor functions as a USB hub as long as the monitor is either “on” or in power saving mode.

If you connect a keyboard or mouse to the USB connectors and then boot your computer for the first time, the peripheral devices may not function. First connect the keyboard and mouse directly to the computer and set up the USB compliant devices. Then connect them to this monitor.

Do not lean on the monitor when plugging in the USB cables. The monitor may suddenly shift and cause injury.
