Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the hub's exterior. Avoid using liquid cleaners, aerosols, or abrasive solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
• Storage: When not in use, store the hub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the hub or subjecting it to strong impacts. Do not bend or excessively pull the integrated USB-C cable.
• Connectivity: Always grasp the plug when connecting or disconnecting cables, rather than pulling on the cable itself, to prevent damage to the connectors.

Troubleshooting

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

No Display Output via HDMI:

• Check Connections: Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the hub and the display.
• Input Source: Verify that your display is set to the correct HDMI input source.
• Device Compatibility: Confirm that your host device's USB Type-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) for video output. Not all USB-C ports support video.
• Resolution Settings: Try lowering the display resolution on your host device to see if the display appears. Some older displays or cables may not support 4K resolution.
• Restart: Disconnect and reconnect the hub, or restart your host device.

USB Devices Not Recognized or Working:

• Reconnect: Disconnect and reconnect the USB device to the hub.
• Power Supply: If connecting high-power devices (e.g., external hard drives), ensure the hub is connected to a power source via its PD port, or that your host device can supply sufficient power.
• Try Different Port: Test the device in a different USB port on the hub or directly on your host device to isolate the issue.
• Driver Issues: While typically plug-and-play, ensure your host device's USB drivers are up to date.

Slow Data Transfer Speeds:

• Port Type: Ensure you are using the USB 3.0 ports for high-speed data transfer. USB 2.0 and USB-C data ports on this hub have lower speeds.
• Device Compatibility: Verify that the connected USB device itself supports USB 3.0 speeds.
• Cable Quality: Use high-quality USB 3.0 cables for optimal performance.

Charging Issues (PD Port):

• Power Adapter: Ensure your USB-C power adapter is functioning correctly and provides sufficient wattage (up to 100W supported).
• Cable: Use a USB-C cable that supports Power Delivery.
• Device Compatibility: Confirm your host device supports charging via its USB-C port.
