Operating Instructions

Using the iHome IH-U200B USB Hub is straightforward:

1. Connect Devices: Plug your USB devices (e.g., iPhone, iPad, digital camera, mouse, thumb drive, external hard drive) into any of the four available USB ports on the hub.
2. Device Recognition: Your computer will recognize the connected devices as if they were plugged directly into the computer's own USB ports.
3. Power Considerations: This hub is designed for low-power USB devices. For high-power devices (e.g., some external hard drives), an external power adapter (not included) may be required if the hub does not provide sufficient power. Refer to your device's manual for its power requirements.

Troubleshooting

• Device Not Recognized:
  • Ensure the USB hub is securely connected to your computer.
  • Try plugging the device directly into your computer's USB port to confirm the device itself is working.
  • Try connecting the device to a different port on the hub.
  • Restart your computer.
• Insufficient Power:
  • If a high-power device (like an external hard drive) is not functioning correctly, it may require more power than the hub can provide without an external power source. Consider connecting such devices directly to your computer or using a powered USB hub.
• Slow Data Transfer:
  • Ensure both the hub and your connected devices are USB 2.0 compatible for optimal speeds.
  • If multiple high-bandwidth devices are connected, performance may be affected.

Specifications

Maintenance

• Keep the hub clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
