TARGUS NOTEBOOK  
EXPANSION USB HOME DOCK  
WITH AUDIO PASS-THROUGH  
Introduction  
Congratulations on your purchase of the Targus  
Notebook Expansion USB home dock with audio pass-  
through. This desktop hub allows you to expand your  
desktop by adding 4 additional USB ports with over-  
current protection, and audio pass-through ports for easy  
connection of headphones/ speakers and a microphone.  
The Notebook USB home dock hub also offers three  
unique features:  
1
High Power technology - provides twice the USB  
specification for devices that require more power than  
normal USB ports provide.  
2
Targus Always On technology - provides power to the  
USB ports even when the computer is shut-down,  
disconnected, or in hibernation/ stand-by mode. This  
allows USB devices that charge via the USB port to  
keep charging under any circumstance.  
3
Targus Easy Access Ports - USB ports are spaced  
wider apart to accommodate larger USB adapters.

Connecting New Devices  
To avoid possible damage when connecting a new  
device, do not force the cable connector into the port on  
the USB hub. If the cable connector does not attach  
smoothly, turn the connector or over and try attaching it  
again.  
Connecting a USB Device  
To connect a USB device, plug it into a USB port and  
follow the additional instructions provided with the device  
or on your computer screen.  
All four USB ports meet USB High-speed requirements,  
of which two of them are High Power USB ports with  
unique features. See “Targus Always On” on page 11 for  
more details, and “Using USB Devices That Require  
More Power” on page 11.  
The standard USB ports, which are located next to the  
microphone port and the High Power USB port at the top  
of the hub, are high-speed ports that provide standard  
500mA of power.  
THE TWO USB PORTS WITH THE LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL ARE ALSO HIGH-SPEED  
PORTS THAT PROVIDE UP TO 1AMP OF POWER EACH. THEY CAN BE USED TO  
POWER USB DEVICES SUCH AS HARD DRIVES, PRINTERS, AND EXTERNAL OPTICAL  
DEVICES THAT DRAW MORE POWER THAN A STANDARD USB PORT SUPPLIES.

Global Suspend Mode  
When your computer is in suspend mode, the USB 2.0 4-  
port hub also enters suspend mode to avoid power  
consumption. When your computer wakes up, so does  
the hub automatically.  
Targus Always On  
The two USB ports that provide up to 1Amp of power will  
continue providing power even when the laptop is  
powered down or disconnected from the USB 2.0 4-port  
hub. This allows you to continue to charge any USB  
device you may have connected.  
Using USB Devices That  
Require More Power  
Some devices, which use large amounts of power, such  
as printers and optical drives, should be plugged into the  
USB High Power Ports. These ports will provide up to  
1000mA of power - double the power of a standard USB  
ports, and are identified by the lightning bolt symbol.  
Product Limitations  
Some devices may halt temporarily when a high data  
transfer is occurring. For example, your mouse may

respond slowly while a graphic print job is printing or  
while you are experiencing heavy network traffic.  
We recommend the following guidelines:  
• Do not transfer data to or from multiple high-speed  
devices, such as a digital camera or scanner, at the  
same time.  
• If speed degradation does occur, close other programs  
that use a USB device to improve device performance.  
Troubleshooting  
Device Not Working  
• Make sure that the device is fully inserted into the  
correct port on the USB 2.0 4-port hub.  
• Plug the device into a different port on the USB hub. If it  
still doesn’t work, test the device by connecting it  
directly to your computer.  
• Verify that you ran the Setup or Install program for the  
device.  
• Make sure that the device appears in Device Manager.  
For more information refer to “Verifying Devices are  
Installed” on page 13.  
• Disconnect all devices from the USB 2.0 4-port hub  
and reconnect them, one at a time. Check that each  
device works before plugging in the next one.  
• Each USB port is equipped with over-current  
protection. Should a USB device draw more current  
than the USB port can supply, the port will shut down.

To re-enable the port, unplug the device and go to  
Device Manager or to the message in the system tray  
and choose the Reset option. You can then plug the  
device back into the USB port. If a shut down reoccurs,  
check the power requirements of the device.  
Verifying Devices are Installed  
You can view the devices installed on the USB 2.0 4-port  
hub from the Device Manager window in System  
Properties.
