Use in accordance with regulations
The wireless USB hub serves to connect USB devices * (USBmass storage devices like external harddrives, USB sticks as
the connection of USB-printers and -scanners) and will
transfer the USB signals to computers connected to the USB
hub by means of WLAN or LAN across a WLAN connection.
USB devices can be connected wirelessly to a computer in
this way. Apart from this, the device has an audio output
through which the audio signal of a registered computer
can be output, in the case of a corresponding setting.
This device is intended exclusively for private use and not
for commercial purposes.
Safety information
Please read this Chapter and the whole
Introduction through carefully and follow all
the information given. You will guarantee
reliable operation and a long useful life of your
USB hub in this way.
Always keep these Operating Instructions
ready to hand close to your device and keep
them well, in order to be able to pass them on
to the new owner in the case of a disposal.
Please contact our authorised service partners
exclusively, if you have problems with the device.

Safety in operation
The device is not intended to be used by individuals
with restricted physical sensory or intellectual
abilities or a lack of experience and/or knowledge
(including children), unless they are supervised by
an individual responsible for their safety or have
received instructions from such an individual about
how the device is to be used. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
device.
Also follow the instructions for use of devices that
you connect to the USB hub.
Do not place any containers filled with liquid, such
as vases, on the device or in its closer surroundings.
The container could tip over and the liquid could
impair electrical safety.
Keep the device away from moisture, drops of water
and spray. Avoid vibrations, dust, heat and direct
solar radiation, to prevent disruptions to operation.
The operating temperature is +5 to +40 °C.
Never open the casing. This will terminate any
guarantee claim and will possibly lead to the
destruction of the device.
Wait until the device has reached the surrounding
temperature after transportation. Moisture, which
can cause electric shock, can form because of
condensation in the case of wide fluctuations in
temperature or moisture.

The device is intended to be connected to
computers with protected connection (Limited
power source in the sense of EN60950).
Only use the Ktec KSA1200150W1UK type mains
adapter supplied.
The socket must be close to the device and easily
accessible.
Lay the cable so that no-one can step on it or trip
over it.
Do not place any objects on the cable, because they
could be damaged.
You should not operate the device under extremely
dry conditions, in order to avoid static charges.
Incorrect functions of the device can arise under
conditions with electrostatic charge. In this case, it will be
necessary to set the device back to the factory settings.
Data security
The assertion of compensation claims for data loss and
consequential damage arising because of it is excluded.
Make security copies on external media (e.g. CD-R) after
every updating of your data.
Electromagnetic compatibility
The Guidelines for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
must be observed during connection. Maintain a minimum
distance of one metre from high-frequency and sources of
magnetic interference (TV device, loudspeakers, mobiles,
etc.), in order to avoid disruptions to function and data loss.
