General Information

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.

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 applica-

tions that need fast file access.

For your convenience, the Freecom Classic Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive has been

partitioned (1 partition) and pre-formatted (FAT32 file system). The FAT32

format ensures maximum interchangeability of the Freecom Classic Mobile 2.5"

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

Freecom Classic Mobile 2.5" Hard Drive in another file system (e.g. NTFS), please

be aware of possible problems when connecting the Freecom Classic Mobile 2.5"

Hard Drive to another computer than the one you used for formatting.
