Smart Charging Note: The charge ports of the ST4300U3C3 Hub are designed with
an Intelligent Control Chipset, which can detect the required charging mode of the
dierent devices connected, and switch to the proper mode for “Full Speed charging”
of that device(E.g. When an Apple device is connected, it will automatically charge to
Apple Charging Mode specications)
Installation
Warning! Do Not Connect Devices which do not require charging into the charging
ports of this device (e.g. USB Flash Drives, Card Readers, etc.)
1. If you plan to wall or surface-mount the device, attach the included wall-mount
bracket to the back of the unit using the screws provided, then attach to the desired
surface using the appropriate hardware (not included).

Apple Mode denition:
Apple Mode is a proprietary charging mode developed by Apple, which redenes
the other two pins of the USB connector, enabling them to send current and increase
charging speed (same theory as DCP mode in BC 1.2 version, but with dierent voltage
levels on the pins).
Detailed as follows:
1A Mode: VCC:5V/GND:5V/D+:2.0V/D-:2.7V (compatible with Apple products that need
1A current input, such as iPhones, IPods and iPads)
2A Mode: VCC:5V/GND:5V/D+:2.7V/D-:2.0V (compatible with Apple products that need
2A current input, such as iPads or iPad minis)
Notes:
a. The choice of charging mode is dependent upon what mode the connected device
supports. The quantity of charging electricity provided is also dependent upon how
much the connected device needs to get a full speed charge.
b. Some devices with a 2A charging requirement can be charged in a 1A USB port,
however, the provided power will be 1A and the charging time will be longer.
Likewise, devices with a 1A charging requirement can be connected to a 2A USB
port and the connected device will only draw the power that is required. It is
recommended that you connect your devices to the proper USB ports based on the
charging requirement of the connected device(s).
c. The charging station may become warm to the touch during charging – this is
normal and will not harm your connected device(s).
d. With an exhausted battery, a Samsung Galaxy Note tablet will not display a charging
icon when connected to the charging hub. After approximately one hour of low
speed charging, the charging icon will show up and begin high speed charging.
BC 1.2 Mode ( Battery Charging Specication 1.2) denitions:
SDP: Standard Downstream Port, dened under USB 2.0 & 3.0 specication. Charging
limits: 500mA / USB 2.0; 900mA/USB3.0
DCP: Dedicated charging Port, for charging only. To increase charging eciency in
DCP mode, D+ and D- will short out and cannot transmit data. **ST7CU35122 uses this
mode only.
CDP: Charging Downstream Ports. USB ports under this mode can transmit data.
