Precautionary measures

To ensure that your Freecom Mobile 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 Mobile Drive Secure.

• SafelyremovetheFreecomMobileDriveSecureviayouroperatingsystem(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 Secure or expose it to other kinds of sudden

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

Drive Secure.

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

10°C or above 35°C.

• If the Freecom Mobile 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 Mobile Drive Secure. When liquids are

spilled andgetin contact with theelectronicswithinthedrive enclosure, it willdamage

the drive and will cause the drive to malfunction.

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

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

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

• Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Mobile 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 Mobile Drive Secure 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 Secure. In that case, you need to use an external

power supply.

For safety reasons you must only use Freecom’s Power Supply Part.No. 30003.

Don’t use any other other power supply!

Freecom Mobile 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,theFreecomMobileDriveSecurehasbeenpartitioned(1partition)and

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

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

to format the Freecom Mobile Drive Secure in another file system (e.g. NTFS), please be

aware of possible problems when connecting the Freecom Mobile Drive Secure to another

computer than the one you used for formatting.

Hardware Installation

Chapter 1: Hardware Installation

Before connecting the cables make sure the Freecom Mobile Drive Secure is switched

off.

1. Connect the interface cable (USB) to the Freecom Mobile

Drive Secure.

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

of your computer.

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

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 Mobile

Drive Secure will be much lower than when the drive is connected to a USB

2.0 port.

For optimum performance the Freecom Mobile Drive Secure should always

be connected to a USB 2.0 interface.

1.1 Data protection by keycard (using RFID technology)

The data on the Mobile 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 Mobile

Drive Secure, when the Mobile Drive Secure recognizes the keycard it will unlock the

drive for use.

The technology inside the keycard and the Mobile 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 Mobile 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 Mobile Drive Secure for the first time, you need to

configure the 2 supplied keycards with the drive. The Mobile 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.
