kinked or damaged by sharp edges.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold
room into a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy the

Connection
Some notebooks supply less than 500 mA per USB port. In this case, it is
possible that the hard drive may not start or be recognised. Use a USB hub
with its own mains adapter to ensure an adequate current supply should
this be the case.
• Turn on the computer. Wait until the operating system is completely booted up.
• Connect the 2 USB plugs that are connected via the short, thin cable, with 2 free
USB ports on your computer (or with a USB hub with its own mains adapter).
• Connect the remaining USB plug with the product.
• The operating system automatically recognises the product upon rst use and
installs the necessary drivers. The drivers are already included in your operating
system.
A new hard drive has to be rstly partitioned and formatted before the drive
is displayed in Explorer and can be used; see the next section.
Partitioning/formatting the hard disk drive
• In Windows
®
, you can partition and format the hard drive via the Control Panel.
• First, make a new partition.
• Then format the newly created partition. A quick format is sufcient. Depending
on the capacity of the hard disk drive, a regular format may take a long time to
complete.
• Consult a technician if you are unsure about partitioning/formatting the hard disk
drive.
Tips and notes
a) USB 2.0
• USB 2.0 devices are backward compatible. This means that the product with the
installed hard disk also works with USB 1.1 ports. However, the transfer speed will
be reduced accordingly.
• If you are connecting the product to a USB hub, the USB hub must support the
USB 2.0 standard in order to provide the maximum transfer speed.
b) General information
• As soon as the hard drive housing is switched on, the LED lights up.
• The LED ashes during read/write access.
• Note that les may be damaged and the operating system may crash if the
connection cable is disconnected when data is being transferred. Always unmount
the hard disk drive via the operating system before disconnecting the connection
cable.
• Always handle hard disk drives carefully. Vibrations during use and even a few
seconds after the hard disk drive has turned off may make the read/write heads
touch the magnetic disk, which can destroy the hard disk drive.
• When connecting the hard disk drive for the rst time, it may take approximately
one minute for the hard disk drive to be recognised. This time may vary depending
on the operating system.
• If necessary, attach the included self-adhesive housing feet to the bottom of the
product.
Care and cleaning
• Before cleaning, unplug the product from the operating system. Wait at least
30 seconds until the magnetic plates on the hard disk drive have come to a
complete standstill. Disconnect the USB plug from the computer.
• Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as
these may damage the casing or cause the product to malfunction.
• The product does not require maintenance except for occasional cleaning.
• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product.
Disposal
