Copying Contents Directly From Flash Cards to DIGI DRIVE Hard Disk
1. Press ON/OFF to turn on the unit. The top right corner of the DIGI DRIVE’s LCD will display HDD sign after two seconds. It shows that hard disk has been
correctly installed. Under it, the remaining space of the hard drive is displayed. On the bottom corner you can see the battery capacity (see figure 1).
2. Insert the memory card that you want to copy. Please insert the memory card into the corresponding interface of the DIGI DRIVE. When the memory card
is correctly placed, the type of card will be displayed on the top left corner of LCD, such as, ‘CF’,‘SM’,‘SD’,‘MS’etc. On the bottom left of LCD, it shows used
space of the memory card (see figure 2).

CF = Compactflash card typeI/II and Microdrive MS = Memory Stick card and Memory Stick Pro SD = Secure Digital card
SM = Smartmedia card and XD-picture card MMC = Multimedia Card
3. Press COPY button , the DIGI DRIVE will automatically transfer all the files of memory card to the internal hard disk. On the LCD screen, the percentage
of transferred files will be displayed. A folder symbol moving from the card symbol to the disk icon “HDD” shows that data is transferred. (see figure 3).
4. The transferring process is complete when the percentage of transferred files on LCD reaches 100%. After transfer, the files on memory card will still remain.
If they shall be deleted, the unit (digital camera, DV camera, etc.) which has written the card should be used.
5. When two memory cards will be recognized by the DIGI DRIVE at the same time, the CF- type of memory card will be seen first. The other type of memory
card will be recognized by the DIGI DRIVE thereafter.
6. The DIGI DRIVE will create a new folder on hard disk to save newly transferred files each time the COPY button is pressed. Therefore no matter the contents
in memory card are the same or not, the DIGI DRIVE will not overwrite previous files.

8. During file transferring process, the DIGI DRIVE cannot be switched off even when the ON/OFF button is pressed. This prevents accidental damage to hard
disk. If it is required to terminate the transferring process, please take the memory card out. After a few seconds, the LCD screen will indicate card misread,
and a ‘X’ sign will appear among the memory card on the LCD. If customer want to continue transferring, please press ON/OFF button, restart the machine
and it will start the transferring process.
