TARGUS NOTEBOOK

EXPANSION USB HOME DOCK

WITH AUDIO PASS-THROUGH

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Targus
Notebook Expansion USB home dock with audio pass­through. This desktop hub allows you to expand your
desktop by adding 4 additional USB ports with over­current protection, and audio pass-through ports for easy
connection of headphones/ speakers and a microphone.

The Notebook USB home dock hub also offers three
unique features:

1 High Power technology - provides twice the USB

specification for devices that require more power than
normal USB ports provide.

2 Targus Always On technology - provides power to the

USB ports even when the computer is shut-down,
disconnected, or in hibernation/ stand-by mode. This
allows USB devices that charge via the USB port to
keep charging under any circumstance.

3 Targus Easy Access Ports - USB ports are spaced

wider apart to accommodate larger USB adapters.
