CHARGING

You can use external power adapter, if you connect printer, scanner or other high power consumption devices to USB ports in HUB (power adapter is included). Respect the basic rules while using this power adapter (for ex. do not let in reach of children, if the adapter is in 230 V circuit, do not put it into the water and so on).

The HUB supports charging of the connected USB mobile equipment such as smartphones (including iPhone and Samsung phones), e-book readers, multi-media players, GPS navigators, and tablets (e.g., Asus, Toshiba, GoClever, Prestigio, Emgeton, Sencor).
