Setup Instructions

1. Placement: Place the Quirky Spacebar POP on a stable, flat surface. Ensure there is enough space for your monitor on top and your keyboard underneath. The stand supports monitors up to 30.5 pounds (13.8 kg) and can stow a keyboard up to 18 inches (45.7 cm) wide and 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) high.
2. Connect Power: Plug the provided AC power adapter into the AC adapter port located at the rear of the Spacebar POP. Connect the other end of the adapter to a wall outlet or power strip.
3. Connect to Computer: Use the supplied USB 3.0 cable to connect the mini-USB port on the rear of the Spacebar POP to an available USB port on your computer. This connection enables data transfer for the USB data ports.

Operating the USB Hub

The Quirky Spacebar POP features six USB ports with distinct functionalities:

• Charging-Only Ports (2): The two front ports on the left side (indicated by a lightning bolt icon) are dedicated to charging devices. These ports provide power but do not transfer data to or from your computer.
• Data & Charging Ports (4): The two front ports on the right side and the two rear ports (indicated by a USB icon) support both data transfer (USB 3.0) and charging. When connected to your computer, these ports allow you to connect peripherals like flash drives, external hard drives, or other USB devices, while also providing power.
• Universal Charging: All six USB ports will provide power for charging devices even if the Spacebar POP is not connected to a computer, provided the AC power adapter is plugged in.

Connecting Devices

Simply plug your USB devices into the appropriate ports. For optimal performance with data-intensive devices, use the USB 3.0 data ports. For faster charging, note that the "charging-only" ports provide up to 2.1A, which may be considered standard charging for some modern devices.

Care and Maintenance

• To clean the stand, wipe it with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ensure the device is unplugged from power before cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Devices are not charging or transferring data.

Solution:

• Ensure the AC power adapter is securely plugged into both the Spacebar POP and a working power outlet.
• Verify that the USB 3.0 cable is properly connected between the Spacebar POP and your computer for data transfer.
• Confirm you are using the correct ports: charging-only ports for power, and data & charging ports for both functions.
• Try connecting the device directly to your computer's USB port to rule out issues with the device itself.

Problem: Charging is slow.

Solution:

• The Spacebar POP's charging ports provide up to 2.1A. Some modern devices may support faster charging rates with dedicated high-speed chargers. This is normal operation for the device.

Problem: A rattling sound is heard when tilting the unit.

Solution:

• Some internal components may produce a slight rattling sound when the unit is moved. This is generally not indicative of a defect and does not affect the functionality or safety of the product.
