Precautionary measures

To ensure that your Verbatim Hard Drive functions properly, please take note of the

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

the Verbatim Hard Drive.

• Safely remove the Verbatim Hard Drive via your operating system (the "unplug or

eject hardware" option in the Windows taskbar) before disconnecting the interface

cable. Failing to do so may result in data loss.

• Do not drop the Verbatim Hard Drive or expose it to other kinds of sudden mechanical

shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the Verbatim Hard Drive.

• Do not use the Verbatim Hard Drive when the ambient temperature is below 10°C or

above 35°C.

• If the Verbatim Hard Drive 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 Verbatim Hard Drive. 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 Verbatim Hard Drive in a dusty environment. Dust inside the enclosure

may damage the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.

• Opening the Verbatim Hard Drive will void the warranty.

• Since USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, the Verbatim Hard Drive can

be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 2.0 port, however, the

performance (data transfer rate) of the Verbatim Hard Drive will be much lower than

when the drive is connected to a USB 3.0 port.

If at any point during installing and/or configuring your Verbatim Hard Drive you need

assistance or have questions, please contact the Verbatim Support Center for your

country. See www.verbatim-europe.com/support for details.

Verbatim Hard Drive

The hi-speed data transfer through the (e.g. USB, Firewire, eSATA, Thunderbolt) 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 Verbatim Hard Drive has been partitioned (1 partition) and pre-

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

of the Verbatim Hard Drive between different computers. Should you choose to format

the Verbatim Hard Drive in another file system (e.g. NTFS), please be aware of possible

problems when connecting the Verbatim Hard Drive to another computer than the one

you used for formatting.

Chapter: Hardware Installation

1. Connect the interface cable* to the Verbatim Hard Drive.

2. Connect the interface cable* to the interface port of your computer.

* Please use the interface cables that come with your device (e.g. USB, eSATA, Firewire, Thunderbolt)

for connecting the device to your PC/Mac.

Chapter: Driver Installation

Under Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7 and Mac OS X a separate Verbatim driver

is not required. The drivers will be installed automatically by the operating system after

plugging in the Verbatim Hard Drive into the interface port of the computer.

Since USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, the Verbatim Hard Drive can

be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 2.0 port, however, the

performance (data transfer rate) of the Verbatim Hard Drive will be much lower than

when the drive is connected to a USB 3.0 port.

For optimum performance the Verbatim Hard Drive should always be connected to

a USB 3.0 interface.

Using Time Machine with your Verbatim Hard Drive

Time Machine allows you making automated backups of your complete system under Mac

OS X 10.5 and Mac OS 10.6 or higher.

1. Connect your Verbatim Hard Drive via the interface to your Mac. If you did not specify

a backup volume yet, Time Machine will ask you when connecting the Verbatim Hard

Drive for the first time if the device shall be used as backup drive.

2. After your Verbatim Hard Drive appeared on the desktop, click on “Use as Backup

Disk” to confirm that you want to use your Verbatim Hard Drive for Time Machine

backups. In the Time Machine preferences you can configure your backup settings

further.

Time Machine now automatically creates backups of your Mac. Time Machine will keep

hourly backups for the last 24 hours, daily backups for the last month and weekly backups

until your Verbatim Hard Drive is full.

The first backup can take some time, so you should set up Time Machine, for example, in

the evening, so the first backup can be created overnight.

Remark: If your Verbatim Hard Drive is formatted in NTFS or FAT 32 format, you

need to format your hard dive in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. Doing so

will delete ALL your data!
