Operation Manual

3. Using the external USB hard drive
To transfer data, you can access your external USB hard drive via Windows Explorer
or your workstation. You can then save, move or delete your data as usual.
During the data transfer process, the LED function display will ash (not the case for
all models).
Never disconnect the USB hard drive while transferring data, as this may result in lost
or corrupted data.
Note that for Windows 2000, XP, Vista and higher, you need to choose the “Safely
Remove Hardware” icon in the taskbar (next to your computer’s time display) to
dismount the USB hard drive. Failure to do so may also result in data on the hard
drive being lost or corrupted.
4. Safety instructions
• Do not cover the hard drive during operation (may cause overheating).
