Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your RSHTECH USB Hub, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the surface of the hub. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or aerosol sprays, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
