4.6 Remarks Regarding the Usage of USB Hubs
Use special caution when connecting the I™ unit to a USB hub
for synchronization purposes with the I™ Sync software. Be-
cause of the unit’s power requirements, it is recommended that only pow-
ered USB hubs be used.
The current output of non-powered hubs is typically 500 mA, but an I-
™ unit may draw up to 1 A. In this situation, the I™
may draw so much current that it causes the internal voltage of the USB hub
to drop below a nominal level which can disconnect the unit from the PC.
The same scenario is especially true when multiple units are connected to a
non-powered USB hub.
