when the power of the computer is turned OFF. "Power OFF" includes
Sleep Mode, Hibernation Mode or shutdown state.
This function can be used for ports that support the Sleep and Charge
function (hereinafter called "compatible ports").
Compatible ports are USB ports that have the ( ) symbol icon.
You can use the "Sleep and Charge function" to charge certain USB-
compatible external devices such as mobile phones or portable digital
music players.

external devices even if they are compliant with the USB specification. In
