General Information

Precautionary measures

To ensure that your Freecom Hard Drive Secure functions properly, please take note of

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

damage the Freecom Hard Drive Secure.

• Safely remove the Freecom Hard Drive Secure 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 Hard Drive Secure or expose it to other kinds of sudden

mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the Freecom Hard

Drive Secure.

•Do not use the Freecom Hard Drive Secure when the ambient temperature is below

10°C or above 35°C.

•If the Freecom Hard Drive Secure is moved from a cool environment to a warmer

environment, 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 Hard Drive Secure. When liquids are

spilled and get in contact withtheelectronicswithinthedriveenclosure,it will damage

the drive and will cause the drive to malfunction.

•Do not use the Freecom Hard Drive Secure in a dusty environment. Dust inside the

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

•Opening the Freecom Hard Drive Secure will void the warranty.

• Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Hard Drive Secure

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

performance (data transfer rate) of the Freecom Hard Drive Secure will be much lower

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

•Only use the power adapter that was supplied with the Freecom Hard Drive Secure.

Freecom Hard Drive Secure

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.

Foryourconvenience,theFreecomHardDriveSecurehasbeenpartitioned(1partition)and

pre-formatted (FAT32 file system). The FAT32 format ensures maximum interchangeability

of the Freecom Hard Drive Secure between different computers. Should you choose to

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

possible problems when connecting the Freecom Hard Drive Secure to another computer

than the one you used for formatting.

Hardware Installation

Chapter 1: Hardware Installation

Remove the plastic protective cover sheets from the front and rear of the drive. Before

connecting the cables make sure the Freecom Hard Drive Secure is switched off.

1. Connect the interface cable (USB) to the Freecom Hard Drive

Secure.

2. Connect the cable of the power supply to the Freecom

Hard Drive Secure and the power supply itself to the mains

socket.

3. Connect the interface cable (USB) to the interface port (USB)

of your computer.

4. Switch on the Freecom Hard Drive Secure.

Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Hard Drive

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

however,theperformance(datatransferrate)oftheFreecomHardDriveSecure

will be much lower than when the drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port.

For optimum performance the Freecom Hard Drive Secure should always be

connected to a USB 2.0 interface.

Freecom Hard Drive Secure

1.1 Power Switch

The hard drive inside the Freecom Hard Drive Secure is always powered, even if the cable

is disconnected from your computer. Therefore, please turn off the Freecom Hard Drive

Secure if it is not used. This saves power and increases the lifetime of the hard drive. The

power switch is on the rear of the Freecom Hard Drive Secure.

Attention! Before switching off the Freecom Hard Drive Secure

manually, make sure to safely remove the Freecom Hard Drive Secure

via your operating system (the "unplug or eject hardware" option in the

Windows taskbar). Failing to do so may result in loss of data.

1.2 Data protection by keycard (using RFID technology)

The data on the Hard Drive Secure can be protected from unwanted access by using a

keycard to unlock the drive. This keycard is placed over a sensor inside the Hard Drive

Secure, when the Hard Drive Secure recognizes the keycard it will unlock the drive for

use.

The technology inside the keycard and the Hard Drive Secure is called RFID. RFID stands

for Radio Frequency Identification. The same technology can be found for example

in office buildings, where people need to present a keycard if they want access to the

building or to a certain floor / department / room.

Your Hard Drive Secure comes with 2 Keycards, in credit card size. This card fits easily

in your wallet so you always will carry it with you. The default setting of the drive is "no

protection". When starting to use the Hard Drive Secure for the first time, you need to

configure the 2 supplied keycards with the drive. The Hard Drive Secure can identify

maximum 2 keycards. We suggest that – after configuring – you use one keycard (labeled

"Security Key") and store the other keycard (labeled "Master Key") in a safe place, in case

your Security Key gets lost.

Of course you can also use the drive without the keycards. In that case you do not need

to run the configuration wizard – you can immediately start using your Hard Drive after

unpacking it from the box. Please note that your data is not protected against unwanted

access then.

You can also decide to use the keycard protection at a later stage, however please note

that the drive needs to be reformatted then and all data on the drive will be lost. See

chapter 4.

Chapter 2: Driver Installation

drivers will be installed automatically by the operating system after plugging in the

Freecom Hard Drive Secure into the USB port of the computer.
