Troubleshooting

Error Message Indicates Hub Power Overload or USB Devices Do Not Function Properly

1. If you encounter this error, unplug your USB devices and

USB hub and reboot your computer. Reconnect your hub to the computer, then try reconnecting your devices one at a time.

2. The USB Hub delivers 500mA of power distributed across all

four ports. This is sufficient power to connect four of the most commonly used USB devices. However, 1% of user applications involve one or more high-power USB devices that will overload your hub unless used with an external AC/DC power adapter.

3. You can order a power supply that is compatible with this

USB Hub by visiting our website at:

http://www.jascoproducts.com/hubpowersupply.html

for $5.00 plus $4.95 shipping and handling.

4. Upon receipt of your power supply, connect the DC plug to

the hub first, then connect the AC plug into any standard wall outlet or surge protector (GE surge protector recommended). Then connect the hub to your computer, and then connect your devices one at a time.
