FCC Warning

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.  Operation is 

subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause 

harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference 

received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note on Format

By default, the DriveStation is formatted with FAT32, allowing use with 

all modern operating systems.  Unfortunately, FAT32 is limited to 4GB 

files, making it unsuitable for use with many video editing and backup 

software packages.  If you plan to use the DriveStation with programs 

that generate files larger than 4GB in size, use the Mac Disk Utility to 

reformat your drive with a “Mac OS Extended” format.
