2. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your RSHTECH USB C Hub:

1. Connect to Host Device: Plug the integrated USB-C cable of the hub into an available USB-C port on your laptop, PC, or compatible device. Ensure your device's USB-C port supports data transfer and video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) for full functionality.
2. Power Connection (Optional): If your host device requires charging or if you are connecting power-intensive peripherals (e.g., external hard drives), connect your device's original USB-C power adapter to the USB-C Power Delivery (PD) input port on the hub. The hub supports up to 100W pass-through charging.
3. Connect Peripherals:
   • HDMI Display: Connect an HDMI cable from your external monitor, projector, or HDTV to the HDMI port on the hub.
   • USB Devices: Plug your USB-A peripherals (e.g., mouse, keyboard, USB flash drive, external SSD) into the USB-A 3.1 Gen 2 ports.
   • USB-C Data Devices: Connect USB-C data devices to the USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 data port. Note that this port is for data transfer only, not power delivery to the host.
   • Memory Cards: Insert SD cards into the SD slot and Micro SD (TF) cards into the TF slot. Both can be read simultaneously.
4. Driver-Free Operation: The hub is plug-and-play and does not require any additional drivers for most operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android).

4. Maintenance

• Keep the hub in a dry environment and avoid exposure to liquids.
• Clean the hub with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the hub to strong impacts.
• Disconnect the hub from your device when not in use for extended periods.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your RSHTECH USB C Hub, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Display Output via HDMI:
  • Ensure your host device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (video output). Not all USB-C ports support this feature.
  • Verify the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the hub and the display.
  • Try a different HDMI cable or display to rule out external component issues.
  • Check your device's display settings to ensure the external monitor is detected and configured correctly.
• USB Devices Not Recognized:
  • Ensure the hub is securely connected to your host device.
  • Try connecting the USB device directly to your host device to confirm it functions independently.
  • If connecting power-intensive devices (e.g., external hard drives), ensure the hub is connected to a power source via its PD port.
  • Restart your host device.
• Slow Data Transfer Speeds:
  • Ensure your connected devices and cables support USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) speeds. Older USB 2.0 or 3.0 devices will operate at their respective maximum speeds.
  • Avoid connecting too many power-intensive devices simultaneously without external power to the hub.
• Charging Not Working or Slow:
  • Ensure your USB-C power adapter is connected to the hub's PD port and is functioning correctly.
  • Verify your host device supports USB-C Power Delivery.
  • The actual charging speed depends on your power adapter and host device's power requirements.
• Hub Feels Warm:
  • It is normal for the aluminum housing to become warm during operation, especially when multiple ports are in use or when charging. This is due to efficient heat dissipation.
  • If the hub becomes excessively hot, disconnect it and allow it to cool down. Reduce the number of connected devices if the issue persists.
