Acer Port Replicator

• 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.
