Tips for Using USB Devices

• 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.

• The FRITZ!Box can not defend the USB memory from

external influences. Thus such phenomena as volt-

age spikes during storms may occur, and writing to

older USB memory devices may corrupt the data

structure due to a high number of defective struc-

tures. In such cases a complete loss of data may oc-

cur.

Therefore we recommend always making a security

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.
