Introduction

FireLite XPress is an innovative portable disk drive that allows you to view information

about your drive even when it is not connected to a computer. Its unique 1.6 inch by 2.4

inch cholesteric liquid crystal display (LCD) maintains its display image without any

power source. You can carry FireLite XPress with you wherever you go and be able to

read the information on its display. Furthermore, FireLite XPress gives you the tools to

personalize the display with useful information that is meaningful to you.

Once your unit is connected properly to your computer, you will be able to use it as you

would any external hard drive for performing data storage functions.

Before you use FireLite XPress for the first time, there are a few important things to

learn about your new product.

Controls and Indicators

First familiarize yourself with the connections, controls, and indicators on your FireLite

XPress.

Top Surface

Along the top surface you will find the LCD and the activity LED.

The LCD shows certain information about the drive as described below. This

information is updated whenever you properly disconnect the drive from your

computer.

1. Volume Label. The hard drive Volume Label (up to 11 characters, all

capital letters) will automatically be displayed here. To change the Volume

Label in Windows, right-click on the drive in My Computer and then select

Rename. To change the Volume Label in Mac OS, highlight the drive on

the desktop and then click on the drive name to edit.

2. Date. The date of the last file save operation will automatically be displayed

here.

3. Notepad. You may use the SmartDisk Notepad application tool (on either

Windows or Mac) to enter text or graphics in this area. The notepad size is

158 x 120 monochrome pixels.

4. Percent-Full Gauge. This gauge will give a graphical representation of the

percentage of the disk capacity that is currently being used to store your

files. When all bars are filled in you will have no remaining free space.

5. Capacity. This number reports the capacity of the drive in gigabytes (GB).

1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes.

6. Free Space. This number reports the remaining amount of free space in

gigabytes (GB). 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes.

Located just below the LCD is the activity LED. This LED is ON when power is

applied and flashes during disk access.

Activity LED.

Rear Panel

The rear panel of your drive contains two connectors and a single control switch as

described below.

USB mini-B Jack. Use the included USB cable to connect to your computer.

Power Source Switch. Selects the power source for the unit.

To operate using the power supplied by your computer’s USB port, slide the

switch to “USB”. If your USB host does not supply sufficient power you can

alternatively use the optional AC Adapter (model ACFLB) and slide the switch

to “EXT”.

DC Input Jack. For use with the optional AC Adapter (ACFLB).

About the Hard Disk

The FireLite XPress internal hard drive comes pre-formatted from the factory in FAT32

format.

Note: Capacity dependent on model. Your operating system and FireLite

XPress display may report capacity as fewer gigabytes. 1 GB =

1,000,000,000 bytes.

Your internal hard drive is a complex electronic storage system and should be handled

with care, as you might treat a sensitive portable computer or other state-of-the-art

consumer electronics product. Do not subject it to shock, high temperatures, or strong

magnetic fields.

Installing the Bundled Software on Your Computer

To begin the software installation, insert the included “FireLite XPress Installation CD”

into your CD-ROM Drive and follow the instructions on the screen for installing

FireLite XPress Notepad software and BounceBack Express backup software.

Operation

This section describes how to use FireLite XPress to store data and how to update its

display.

Connecting to a Computer

Connecting your unit to a USB Host device, such as a PC or Mac, is extremely simple.

Follow the steps below:

1. Connect the mini-B end of the included USB cable to the USB connector on

FireLite XPress.

2. Attach the other end of the USB cable to an available USB port on your PC,

Mac, or hub.

The drive will mount automatically and a drive letter representing FireLite XPress hard

disk will appear in My Computer (Windows) or a new icon will appear on the desktop

(Macintosh).

Note: If you are using a USB 1.1 port on your Windows computer, the

following cautionary note may appear on your display: Hi-Speed USB

Device plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB hub. This does not indicate a

problem because FireLite XPress is compatible with both USB 1.1 and

USB 2.0 ports. Simply close the message and proceed. However, in this

case FireLite XPress will operate only at USB 1.1 speeds.

Storing and Transferring Data via USB

Once your drive is connected to a computer via USB, it can be accessed and used like

any other removable disk. You can drag files to your unit’s icon to copy them, navigate

to your unit in Open or Save dialog boxes, or delete files stored on your unit. For

information on copying, opening, or deleting files, consult your computer’s

documentation.

Disconnecting FireLite XPress from a PC or Mac Host

Your FireLite XPress is hot-swappable; it can be connected and disconnected without

restarting your computer. To disconnect your drive at any time, perform the following

steps. You can also disconnect your hard drive at any time while your computer is

powered off.

Note: Please be careful to follow the correct procedure when

disconnecting your unit. Your FireLite XPress display will update its disk

information during the disconnection procedure. Simply unplugging the

unit without first following the instructions below will cause the display to

show incorrect information and may result in damage to your unit and/or

loss of data.

For Windows Users:

1. If you have files located on your FireLite XPress open in any applications,

close them.

2. Click the Unplug or Eject Hardware button in the System Tray.

3. Select your FireLite XPress drive from the menu that appears.

4. After a moment, Windows will display a message that your hardware can be

safely removed and then your FireLite XPress will calculate the drive

information and its display will refresh (refer to note below).

For Mac OS Users:

1. If you have files located on your FireLite XPress open in any applications,

close them.

2. Locate the icon for your FireLite XPress on the desktop, and drag it to the

trash. Your FireLite XPress will then calculate the drive information and its

display will refresh (refer to note below).

Note: Please wait for the display to refresh fully before unplugging the

drive. If you unplug the drive too soon you will get a partially written

display as shown in the image on the left below.

 

Drive unplugged too soon. Display fully refreshed.

Personalizing Your Drive with Notepad Software

Once installed on your PC or Mac, the FireLite XPress Notepad software can be used to

personalize your FireLite XPress. Though some information displayed on your FireLite

XPress display is determined automatically by the contents of the drive, a section of the

display referred to as the “notepad” can be filled in by you and can contain any

information you care to show. For example, this could show a list of folders, your name

and address, or your company’s name and logo.

To begin, first connect your FireLite XPress drive. Then double-click the FireLite

XPress Notepad application icon to run the software and you will be presented with the

main program screen.

Main Notepad Screen for Windows

Main Notepad Screen for Mac OS

A drop-down list will present a list of connected FireLite XPress drives. If you have

more than one drive connected, select from the list the drive you would like to

personalize.
