Precautionary measures

To ensure that your Freecom Mobile Drive II functions properly, please take note of the

following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty and dam-

age the Freecom Mobile Drive II.

• Safely remove the Freecom Mobile Drive II via your operating system (the "unplug or

eject hardware" option in the Windows taskbar) before disconnecting the USB cable

or power cable and before switching off the device. Failing to do so may result in data

loss.

•Do not drop the Freecom Mobile Drive II or expose it to other kinds of sudden me-

chanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the Freecom Mobile

Drive II.

•Do not use the Freecom Mobile Drive II when the ambient temperature is below 10°C

or above 35°C.

•If the Freecom Mobile Drive II is moved from a cool environment to a warmer envi-

ronment, please allow the drive to acclimatize to the ambient temperature before

operating the device. Failing to do so may lead to condensation within the drive

enclosure, which in turn may cause the drive to malfunction.

•Do not place liquids or drinks on the Freecom Mobile Drive II. When liquids are spilled

and get in contact with the electronics within the drive enclosure, it will damage the

drive and will cause the drive to malfunction.

•Do not use the Freecom Mobile Drive II in a dusty environment. Dust inside the

enclosure may damage the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.

•Opening the Freecom Mobile Drive II will void the warranty.

• Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Mobile Drive II

can be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 1.1 port, however, the

performance (data transfer rate) of the Freecom Mobile Drive II will be much lower

than when the drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port.

On some computers it might occur that the USB port does not deliver enough

power to the Mobile Drive II. In that case, you need to use an external power

supply.

For safety reasons you must only use Freecom’s Power Supply Part.No. 30921.

Don’t use any other power supply!

Freecom Mobile Drive II

The hi-speed data transfer through the USB 2.0 interface makes it ideally suitable for

data-storage, file sharing, backup, archiving, audio playback and all applications that

need fast file access.

For your convenience, the Freecom Mobile Drive II has been partitioned (1 partition) and

pre-formatted (FAT32 file system). The FAT32formatensures maximum interchangeabil-

ity of the Freecom Mobile Drive II between different computers. Should you choose to

format the Freecom Mobile Drive II in another file system (e.g. NTFS), please be aware of

possible problems when connecting the Freecom Mobile Drive II to another computer

than the one you used for formatting.

Chapter 4: Freecom Hard Drive Protection Tool

4.1 Using the Freecom Hard Drive Protection Tool (PC)

Your Freecom Mobile Drive II is equipped with a password protection feature. This pro-

vides the best possible protection. Your data is always protected, even if the internal

hard drive is taken out of the enclosure and connected to a computer, you still will not

be able to access the data.

If your PC is shut down or sent to hibernation, we recommend to completely disconnect-

ing the Mobile Drive II from your PC in order to reactivate the password protection. Some

PCs keep USB devices supplied with power when being in hibernation mode, therefore

you remain logged in with your password.

4.1.1 Configuring the password protection

1. Connectyour FreecomMobile Drive II toyour PC. A HardDisk Drive (“FREECOMHDD”)

and a Virtual CD-ROM Drive (“Password”) will appear in “My Computer”.

The Virtual CD-ROM Drive is an undeletable partition on your Mobile Drive II on

which the Freecom Hard Drive Protection software is stored. This ensures that you

always have the password protection application available when needed, it can not

be accidentally deleted.

2. If the virtual CD-ROM drive does not automatically open after the harddrivehas been

connected, double-click on the virtual CD ROM drive icon (“Password”) to open it.
