Tips for Using USB Devices
57
•
Before removing a USB storage device, select the “Safely
Remove” button in the FRITZ!Box user interface to pre-
vent losses of data.
•
To avoid damage to the FRITZ!Box or the USB storage de-
vice, only operate USB storage devices that require more
than one USB port for operation (for instance hard drives
with a Y cable) if they have their own power supply, or
use them at a USB hub with its own power supply.
•
The FRITZ!Box can not defend the USB memory from ex-
ternal influences. Thus such phenomena as voltage
spikes during storms may occur, and writing to older
USB memory devices may corrupt the data structure due
to a high number of defective structures. In such cases a
complete loss of data may occur.
Therefore we recommend always backing up the USB
memory content just in case data are lost on the USB
storage device.
