Monitoring Alerts
On both Windows and Mac systems, the WD Quick View icon flashes to indicate the device
may be overheated or about to fail. In Windows, a balloon alert displays as well.
Note: If the device overheats, power it down and let it cool for 60 minutes.
Power it back on, and if the problem persists, contact WD Support.
WD Quick View Alerts Option
An option on the WD Quick View submenu displays alerts such as:
• Drive is reaching maximum capacity.
• Drive is full and subsequent backups cannot take place. Displays every five
minutes until space is made available.
• Updates are available.
To view drive alerts:
1. To display one or more alerts, select your drive, then select Alerts on the WD Quick
View submenu. Multiple alerts are arranged chronologically. NEED NEW with better
alerts
2. To close the Alerts panel, click Exit (Windows) or OK (Mac).
