Tips for Using USB Devices
When using USB devices at the USB ports of the
FRITZ!Box, please keep in mind the following:
•
If more than one USB device without its own power
supply is connected to the FRITZ!Box, please note
that, in accordance with the USB specification, the
total current consumption may not exceed a value of
500 mA. Otherwise unspecified malfunctions with
the USB devices or even damage to the FRITZ!Box
may occur.
•
AVM expressly advises against performing firmware
updates for USB devices connected to the computer
via the USB remote connection on the FRITZ!Box.
•
Before removing a USB storage device, select the
“Remove safely” option in the FRITZ!Box user inter-
face to prevent losses of data.
