Tips for Using USB Devices
 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.
 To avoid damage to the FRITZ!Box, only operate USB
storage devices that require more than one USB port
for operation (for instance hard drives with a Y cable)
if they have their own power supply or a USB hub
with its own power supply.
 AVM has no influence over external interference to
the USB memory devices on the FRITZ!Box. Thus such
phenomena as voltage spikes during storms may oc-
cur, and writing to older USB memory devices may
corrupt the data structure due to a high number of
defective structures. In such cases a complete loss of
data may occur.
Therefore AVM recommends always making a securi-
ty copy of the USB memory content so that your data
are not irretrievably lost just because losses may oc-
cur on the USB storage device.
