Powering On

When you power on the

stops flashing and turns white when it is ready to use. (A solid amber Drive LED means that the

screen saver is on. To learn more, see “Understanding the Multimedia Drive’s LEDs” on

the video, photo, and music files you transferred to it. This may take a few moments,

depending on how many files are on the device; an Indexing message appears while the

index is built.
