Instructions for Adding Modules Removing the sleeve from the Belkin USB Module: 1. Hold the module in both hands. Pull one side of the sleeve outward. (See Figure 5). 2. The sleeve should slide off easily.
Instruction for Adding Modules (cont’d.) When attaching additional modules to the BusStation™, there is no need to power down your computer, or unplug the BusStation™. Note on Power Consumption USB specifies that each port can only draw a maximum of 500mA of electrical current. If a device draws more than that amount, the Bus Station's built-in "Overcurrent Protection" will shut off that port, and prevent damage to the device and the Bus Station.
Note: Modules should only be added starting from the 4 Port Hub base of the module working your way up. 1. Remove the sleeve from the USB module following the instructions in Figure 5. 2. Place the module you wish to add in the first empty slot directly above the 4 Port hub. 3. Do not force the module into the BusStation™. As you slide the module into the BusStation™ it should securely lock onto the guide track of the one below it. 4.
Removing Modules Instructions for removing modules from the BusStation™ Note: Modules should be removed from top to bottom. Do not remove the middle modules first, doing so will cause severe damage to your equipment and/or the BusStation™. 1. Hold the BusStation™ away from you so that the connectors are facing you. (See Figure 7). 2. Using both of your thumbs, push the BusStation™ module out of the BusStation™ bay. (See Figure 7) 3. The module should slide out smoothly.
