Precautionary measures

To ensure that your Verbatim portable 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 portable Hard Drive.

• Safely remove the Verbatim portable Hard Drive via your operating system (the

"unplug or eject hardware" option in the Windows taskbar) before disconnecting the

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

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

mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the Verbatim portable

Hard Drive.

• Do not use the Verbatim portable Hard Drive when the ambient temperature is below

10°C or above 35°C.

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

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

• Opening the Verbatim portable Hard Drive will void the warranty.

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

you need assistance or have questions, please contact the Verbatim Support Center

for your country. See  for details.

Verbatim portable Hard Drive

The hi-speed data transfer through the (e.g. USB) 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 portable Hard Drive has been partitioned (1 partition) and

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

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

format the Verbatim portable Hard Drive in another file system (e.g. NTFS), please be

aware of possible problems when connecting the Verbatim portable Hard Drive to another

computer than the one you used for formatting.

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 portable Hard Drive into the interface port of the computer.

Since USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, the Verbatim portable 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 portable Hard Drive will be

much lower than when the drive is connected to a USB 3.0 port.

For optimum performance the Verbatim portable Hard Drive should always be

connected to a USB 3.0 interface.

Using Time Machine with your Verbatim portable 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 portable 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 portable Hard Drive for the first time if the device shall be used as backup

drive.

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

Backup Disk” to confirm that you want to use your Verbatim portable Hard Drive

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 portable 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 portable 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!
