How to Use a USB Booster
- 1). Insert the USB cable on your USB device in to the female end of the USB booster.
- 2). Plug the USB device in to power, if the device uses an external power supply.
- 3). Plus the other end of the USB booster into your computer's USB port. The device will be recognized normally. If it is a self-powered USB device, it will be able to draw sufficient power through the booster to work properly.
