Precautionary measures
To ensure that your Freecom Classic Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive functions properly,
please take note of the following precautions. If these are not followed, you may
void your warranty and damage the Freecom Classic Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive.
• Safely remove the Freecom Classic Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive via your operating
system (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 Classic Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive or expose it to other
kinds of sudden mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage
to the hard drive.
• Do not use the Freecom Classic Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive when the ambient
temperature is below 10°C or above 45°C.
• If the Freecom Classic Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive is moved from a cool environ-
ment 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 Classic Mobile 2.5" 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 malfunc-
tion.
• Do not use the Freecom Classic Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive in a dusty environ-
ment. Dust inside the enclosure may damage the internal electronics and
result in drive malfunction.
• Only use the power adapter that was supplied with the Classic Mobile 2.5"
Hard Drive.
• Opening the Freecom Classic Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive will void the warranty.
• Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Classic
Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive can be connected to all USB ports. When connected
to a USB 1.1 port, however, the performance (data transfer rate) of the
Freecom Classic Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive will be much lower than when the
drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port.
• When using the Freecom SYNC software, please be aware that all files in the
SYNC folder on the Classic Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive are linked to the original
files on your PC or network. If you delete a file in the SYNC folder, its original
will be deleted during the next synchronization, too! To avoid this, you have
to 'Split From Original' the file prior to deleting it. Please refer to chapter 5
for further information on Freecom SYNC and Microsoft Briefcase.
