4.1 Using the USB Port
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a hardware interface that enables you to connect
multiple devices (such as printers, mice, keyboards, storage devices, digital
cameras, and video conference cameras, etc.) to your Tablet PC, and up to 127
devices can be attached. Besides, USB’s hot swap capability allows everything
to be plugged in and unplugged without turning the system off.
Microsoft, HP, Compaq, Intel, Agere, NEC and Philip are seven core
members of USB-IF to have worked on USB 2.0 standardization. USB 2.0
offers data transfer rate up to 480Mbps (megabits per second) compared to
USB 1.1 devices, which transfer at speeds of 12Mbps. So, you could know that
USB 2.0 can transfer data between the computer and its peripherals 40 times
faster than USB 1.1. However, USB 2.0 is fully backward compatible, you will
be able to use a USB 1.1 device in a USB 2.0 compliant system.
Depending on your operational requirements, you may need to disable
other ports in order to release system resource for the USB port.
The USB bus distributes 0.5 amps (500 milliamps) of power through each
port. For the purpose of power saving, please disconnect your USB device
while not in use.

If you use external speakers and experience the sound distortion or
feedback, please lower the volume. Some factors is caused by too close
locating the microphone and speakers from each other, moving away the
external audio option from the unit may also help.
