Addonics Technologies – Pocket UDD Users Guide v1.0

Chapter 3 Operation of the Pocket UDD

You must have a media inside the Pocket DigiDrive when it is the first time

to install this device to your computer.

The pocket UDD is designed not to draw any power when there is no media

inserted. So the LED light will remain off even the device is connected to the

computer.

Use the following procedures to add or remove the media from the Pocket

UDD.

1. Insert the media fully into the device, the LED light will turn green,

indicating the media is properly inserted inside and the device is now

turned on. Your operating system will report new hardware detected

and begin to install the device. This may take a few seconds before a

new drive icon appears in the My Computer folder. During this

initialization, the LED light on the Pocket UDD toggles between

orange and green color. The LED will stay green when the device is

ready.

2. Once the drive icon appears, the media is now ready and can be used

like regular floppy media.

3. During the read / write operation, the LED light of the Pocket UDD

will turn Red.

4. To remove the media, clicks on the Safe Remove icon to stop the

connection as shown below. Once the “you may now safely remove

window shows up”, you can then remove the media from the Pocket

UDD by pushing on the eject button.

Note: if you eject the media from the Pocket UDD without checking

the Safe Remove icon, a warning message will appear from Windows

98SE, Me and 2000. This message is a reminder that it is safer to use

the Safe Remove icon when you remove the media to prevent possible

data loss in case you are in the middle of copying a file to and from the

media. You can go ahead and close this message.

5. After the media is ejected from the Pocket UDD, the LED light will go

off, indicating the media is fully ejected from the device. Do not pull

the media out of the device without using the eject button. This may

crash the computer as it does not realize the media has been manually

removed from the device.
