General Information

Precautionary measures

To ensure that your Freecom ToughDrive Pink functions properly, please take note of

the following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty and

damage the Freecom ToughDrive Pink.

• Safely remove the Freecom ToughDrive Pink 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 ToughDrive Pink (more than 2 m) or expose it to other

kinds of sudden mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the

Freecom ToughDrive Pink.

• Do not use the Freecom ToughDrive Pink when the ambient temperature is below

10°C or above 35°C.

• If the Freecom ToughDrive Pink is moved from a cool environment to a warmer en-

vironment, 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 ToughDrive Pink. When liquids are

spilled and get in contact with the electronics within the drive enclosure, it will dam-

age the drive and will cause the drive to malfunction.

• Do not use the Freecom ToughDrive Pink in a dusty environment. Dust inside the

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

• Opening the Freecom ToughDrive Pink will void the warranty.

• Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom ToughDrive Pink

can be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 1.1 port, however, the

performance (data transfer rate) of the Freecom ToughDrive Pink 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 ToughDrive Pink. In that case, you need to use an external power

supply.

For safety reasons you must only use Freecom’s Power Supply Part.No. 30921.

Don’t use any other power supply!

computer than the one you used for formatting.

4.1 Using the Freecom Hard Drive Protection Tool (PC)

Your Freecom ToughDrive Pink is equipped with a password protection feature. This

provides the best possible protection. Your data is always protected, even if the internal

hard drive is taken out of the enclosure and connected to a computer, you still will not

be able to access the data.

IfyourPCisshutdownorsenttohibernation,werecommendtocompletelydisconnecting

the ToughDrive Pink from your PC in order to reactivate the password protection. Some

PCs keep USB devices supplied with power when being in hibernation mode, therefore

you remain logged in with your password.

HDD”) and a Virtual CD-ROM Drive (“Password”) will appear in “My Computer”.

The Virtual CD-ROM Drive is an undeletable partition on your ToughDrive Pink on

which the Freecom Hard Drive Protection software is stored. This ensures that you

always have the password protection application available when needed, it can not

be accidentally deleted.

2. If the virtual CD-ROM drive does not automatically open after the hard drive has been

connected, double-click on the virtual CD ROM drive icon (“Password”) to open it.
